Reporting what happened, not making a point, lonesome, other than better to have your head in the right place when you pull a trigger, which seems consensus of the thread.
This is the thought that I suspected was underlying. It wasn't about having the right mental state to pull the trigger, then face the music. The original point was made about gun crimes being taken seriously up in Canada. I'm certain some would argue that recreational drug use is a victimless crime.
I still said maybe the sentence was appropriate, but the extraneous high court comments are questionable. I agree that any father that would 'accidentally' shoot a son won't get my sympathy either. Maybe the best sentence would've been a ricochet that took out the shooter.
I just think examples are chosen for a reason, not for the informational public service.
