Look at her post history. He's been abusive since they started dating when he was 27 and she was 18...

This account also asked for divorce lawyers in a local forum, writing:
Husband cheated on me with a man. I’m a unemployed SAHM of a 1 year old baby. Was wondering if anyone knew any divorce lawyers in the Broward area.

Entire profile is bleak, guy's been giving her STDs probably too, fuck.
- Just makes it sound like a troll tbh.
_oh.
There’s a lot of fake stories on Reddit, but of course it’s one like this that’s probably real. So fucking sad.
instant death penalty for anyone out of their teens dating a teenager
no exceptions
- mfw i'm 20 dating 19
That age difference makes me wish he never became a veteran.

Your first mistake is marrying a soldier

also

He adamantly refuses to purchase or place his gun in a gun safe.

This guy wants to think he's John Wick but forgot that no one in charge trusts people like him to be armed 24/7, which is why they lock all the weapons up and do inventory before and after issuing them. John Wick was a marine, though, so maybe he's just living the crayon eating part of the character

John Wick was a marine
"People keep asking if I'm going to buy a lifted F-150 with 28% APR and marry a 19 year old I've known for a week and I haven't really had an answer, but yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to buy a lifted F-150 with 28% APR and marry a 19 year old I've known for a week."
and all john wick's guns were like buried in concrete in the basement, no?
- Yeah, and look what happened! If he'd left a gun on the edge of every piece of furniture in the house instead, those guys would've never killed his dog.
John Wick was a marine
American media's obsession with portraying Marines as some kind of elite soldier is fucking hilarious to me after reading Generation Kill and learning they're just drunk frat boys given guns and told to kill
They're possibly the least glamorous soldiers anywhere
- You’d think the myth would’ve been shattered after seeing a mentally disturbed trainee becoming the Perfect Marine and shooting his drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket
Type of dude to refuse to wear a jimmy hat.
There's no way that, in the movie canon, John Wick was a marine. Come on, that's so lame. It's revealed in the second movie, I think, that John Wick was born in the USSR, trained from early childhood to be an assassin for the criminal syndicates that control the underworld. They don't need to say "he's badass because he was a marine." John Wick doesn't need that. Being a marine doesn't make the character more interesting, it makes him worse.
I looked it up and found a reddit post that claims one of his tattoos is a latin motto that is popular among marines, and also that the video game payday 2 claims he was one. I'm going to discount payday 2 because I doubt whoever wrote John Wick's blurb had access to whatever story bible the John Wick team has. As for the tatto, I mean, he is a soldier of fortune, but for the criminal underworld. It'd make sense for him to have a tattoo like that without ever having been in the military.
Also that reddit post, which speculates that John was discharged from the military for being mentally unstable, has this line: "Of course, John would never get to be a Marine if he had psychological issues before being in the army."
Anyway, here's my impression of Jarhead John being asked how he became the world's deadliest man:
"Hey John, is it true you incredible fighting ability is due to the fact that you were fostered by each of the world's most powerful crime syndicates, trained in their fighting styles, and then spent ten years with the secret, still extant Order of Assassins?"
"Oh, yeah, that was cool, but most of it came down to being yelled at by a guy in fatigues for a few months and then calling in airstrikes any time we heard a noise."
- Was the latin motto "semper fidelis"? If not, definitely not a marine.

he blames me for not looking after my daughter

kill him

the move is to take the gun, put it in his mouth, and blow his brains out.

it's not gonna be a hard pitch to sell it as a suicide where you tried to stop him and there was a struggle.

Typical vet shit

- It’s okay to murder children overseas but not in the USA (unless they are Black or brown, then it’s fine).
- Fuck off vet, all troops are bastards means all troops are bastards - including you.
- Damn! I wonder why the majority of US Vets are fucked up selfish people who don't care about hurting those around them.
- "Tendency" rather than "typical", yes you are correct.

turns out the war criminal i married is a real asshole

Death to America

that's a multiple homocide waiting to happen. honestly terrifying that we let these people participate in society, let alone carry firearms.

The two types of military veterans who do this, desk jockeys who feel they have something to prove because they weren't combat arms and deeply fucked up combat veterans who are broken in the brain.

I'd say, "she should get a divorce" but the dude would probably try to kill her.

Itd be cool if she shot him tho

I want to live in a world where the child doesn't feel regret or grief in shooting this dumb asshole
- Grief counselling just consists of showing the child the fathers Facebook posts and telling them they're braver than the troops because the person they domed was actually probablly armed.
The first thing that crossed my mind when I read this story. Lady, your daughter is suggesting that a very cool thing happen to your partner.
- Unfortunately it would be more likely she'd shoot herself tho

Leave him. Period.

As a military wife she probably gets uprooted regularly and has no chance to ever build any sort of relationships with people off-base. It's never that simple.
- get daughter a nerf gun, train her to shoot at pictures of daddy
- That's true, but if this guy does this again (and he will, soon), and the daughter dies, the OP will absolutely go to jail too. For a very long time. Probably longer than if she blew the guys head off

Always have a safe, never leave a gun unattended and unlocked for any reason. All guns are loaded, that gun you just visually checked the chamber of is especially loaded.

Never have a safe, always leave a gun unattended and unlocked for no reason. Don't worry about checking if the gun is loaded, it probably isn't. If you want to be sure, look down the barrel.
- Always check the status of your gun with a few sky pops. Let God know fear for once.
- Roving gangs of Mexican Isis cartels funded by the Chinese KGB are roving every suburb of America. It's a warzone out there and youl will get killed and eaten if you don't shoot first.
  You are safest when your gun is as accessible to you as possibly which is why you should never lock it away or keep it hidden. You should always keep it loaded. Let your toddler play with the gun, it builds character and the sooner they get comfortable handling firearms, the sooner they can get their own and help keeping everyone safe.
my bolt action with the bolt and carrier removed is, in fact, loaded.

California makes someone criminally liable for keeping a firearm on his or her premises where he or she knows or reasonably should know a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or legal guardian, if the child does gain access and carries the firearm off the premises.
A person is also criminally liable for keeping a loaded firearm where he or she knows or reasonably should know that a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or guardian, if the child actually does gain access to the firearm and either carries it to a public place, brandishes it in a threatening manner, or if someone is injured as a result of the child gaining access to the firearm. The penalty imposed is significantly greater if someone dies or suffers great bodily injury as a result of the child gaining access to the firearm.
Moreover, a person is criminally liable for keeping any firearm, loaded or unloaded, on his or her premises where he or she knows or reasonably should know a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child’s parent or legal guardian, if the child does gain access to it and carries the firearm to any preschool or school grades K-12 or to any school-sponsored event, activity, or performance.

Now I wonder what the laws in red states are about kids and criminally liability. My hunch is there's nothing.
- If the kid is black, straight to jail.

One of my recurring nightmares is "I lost my gun!" I can't imagine actually leaving a loaded gun just sitting around by accident.

Mister Evrart is helping me find my gun
- I only lost my gun irl once, thank you very much! It happened to be right where I left it.
leaving a loaded gun just sitting around by accident
Im pretty sure this person is doing it on purpose though
- If it was an accident (and were pre assuming this person actually has a conacience) they'd be horrified.
  The fact he immediatly goes into "muh rights" means this person is facilitating their child killing themselves to own the libs.
- idk, smells of incompetence to me. Everyone knows to keep their loaded, unsecured firearms under their pillow instead of just letting it all hang out on the edge of the bed.

I have a few guns and specifically bought a safe as soon as my daughter was born for this exact reason. Dude is a fucking sociopath and I hope his toddler shoots him and no one else.

NTA, the Founding Fathers fought and died so that you could have the freedom to leave loaded handguns around your personal domicile. Leftist authoritarians hate this, of course.

These types of people are why I never go to gun ranges. I don't trust anyone else to handle a firearm safely

Well, at least at the range you also have a gun which can be used to enforce safety protocols. Having taken part in that sort of interaction, I have to say it's less than ideal.
Usually RSOs handle dumbasses. Hopefully.

I can’t help but expect her to be murdered by him some day, not necessarily in a fit of rage or something, although that’s possible. I’m assuming he hears a noise in the house and unloads a full magazine into the shadowy stairwell that she was walking up after getting a drink of water.

Or he simply shoots her because he can.

AITA?
