A Michigan man whose 2-year-old daughter shot herself in the head with his revolver last week pleaded not guilty after becoming the first person charged under the state’s new law requiring safe storage of guns.

Michael Tolbert, 44, of Flint, was arraigned Monday on nine felony charges including single counts of first-degree child abuse and violation of Michigan’s gun storage law, said John Potbury, Genesee County’s deputy chief assistant prosecuting attorney.

Tolbert’s daughter remained hospitalized Wednesday in critical condition from the Feb. 14 shooting, Potbury said. The youngster shot herself the day after Michigan’s new safe storage gun law took effect.

    It’s also not going to stop the Supreme Court from striking that down, too.

    The money and power behind the GOP want us out here killing each other.

      That’s actually one of the angles on the Hunter Biden firearms case… it will be interesting to see how far they’re willing to go.

        They’d never grant hunter biden cert. They’ll wait for someone else to raise the point.
