Warning: Article has detailed accounts of the shooting
Breanna Gayle Devall Runions, 25, was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse in the death of Evangaline Gunter.
The child’s parents, Adam and Josie Gunter, told ABC affiliate WATE that Evangaline had been in temporary custody at a home in Rockwood, which Runions shared with girlfriend Christina Daniels and another child, a 7-year-old girl.
Before the shooting, Evangaline and the older girl were being punished that morning by Runions for not waking up the women and for eating Daniels’ food without permission, according to the warrant and a statement from Russell Johnson, district attorney general for Tennessee’s 9th Judicial District. Runions struck both girls with a sandal before forcing them to stand in different corners of the women’s bedroom, authorities said the older girl told them.
After the shooting, the women drove Evangaline to a nearby Walmart location to meet an ambulance, Roane County Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Boduch told the Roane County News, and the vehicle transported the girl to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Boduch could not immediately be reached by HuffPost.
Responsible gun owners don’t get all defensive when people point out that irresponsible gun owners think they’re responsible.
If that bothers you, I’m glad you don’t know where I live.
Where did I get defensive?
You are once again branching off into another discussion. You’re doing this because you know your logic falls to mine and you have no leg to stand on.
Also, that is the dumbest fucking logic I’ve ever heard, “oh, if you were actually something that you said you were, you wouldn’t defend yourself”. I can see why you demonize firearms now. Defending yourself is apparently a bad thing now I guess, since you know, armed robbery is a common thing where I live and I’ve had two break-ins in the past.
But nope, MY life doesn’t matter, the criminal in front of me at 2 in the morning, trying to rob me of my shit, AND my life if I try to do anything about it besides shoot his ass in a non-lethal manner, HIS is the one that matters.
Are you this blissfully unaware that a gunshot doesn’t have to be fatal? It can be, but that’s the risk you take when you break into someone’s home threatening violence. That guy is still alive today by the way, I shot him in the knee, chest, and arm, and called the cops. He was a convicted felon, he had a remington 870, and if you don’t know, that is a fucking scary ass gun that will blow a hole in your chest the size of a watermelon. If you would rather comply with someone who you have no idea the intentions of, holding one of these, then you have never been in one of these situations because you would feel very differently.
He’s in prison now, but without that firearm, I could have been killed, my lady friend at the time could have been raped, kidnapped, killed.
Live in the real world FFS, the world is not some make believe place where nobody is bad unless they have a gun in their hand. Bad people actively seek out weapons to do evil and they don’t give a shit if it is obtained illegally or not, often times they don’t legally have the right to own one themselves. You realize most gangsters are felons themselves right?
Holy shit dude, you are retarded buddy. I’m not continuing this conversation with you. If you don’t want me to shoot you, then do not break into my house and threaten my life with a firearm in hand. I’d think that would be pretty easy to do, no?
Thank fucking god. You gun worshiping school shooter advocates are ALL alike. No one can say anything at all negative about literally any gun owner, ever, without days and days of macho bullshit. Keep protecting the availability of guns for people like the guy who tried to rob you (if he’s real). The advocacy of Responsible Gun Owners exactly like you made sure he had easy access to the gun he tried to rob you with. And I absolutely guarantee he considered himself to be a responsible gun owner, just like you do.
Remember, you’re not continuing this conversation.
Gun worshipping? Lol, I literally have just two firearms, a pistol for carry and a pistol for home defense. How is that in any way gun worshipping? Don’t even get me started on private gun collectors who hoard fully automatic firearms en masse. Somehow I’m on the same level as those people because I say you should have a firearm for self defense. Do you honestly think I want everyone to have firearms? Hell no, but I, as a level headed adult, realize that the world isn’t sunshine and rainbows and that there are legitimately fucked up people out there, and here you are crying like an actual fucking child. I don’t care if you think I am a responsible gun owner or not, I can definitely tell that YOU don’t need a firearm though because you would have no idea what to do in a given situation like that, you would definitely be more of a harm to innocents or yourself in that situation, and that’s okay! Just don’t take it out of people who have saved their own LIFE WITH A FIREARM.
Four words: 3d printed lower receiver
Motherfucker are you on drugs? Did you even read what you wrote before you sent that? I have no problem with people using mind altering substances, but if you are on them then please tell me so I can stop arguing with you. It is a waste of my time and a waste of your trip.
Tell me you don’t pay taxes without telling me you don’t pay taxes. I bet you are still a teenager, there is no way in hell there is a functioning adult with the logic you just shat out from the anus you call your mouth.
Remember, I’m not continuing the conversation, the above is not related to the previous conversation. Everything I just stated is new material that you just brought up. Firearms are going nowhere, get used to it, you can thank the spineless democratic party for that. Great ideas but no bite whatsoever. Almost like people should vote for a third fucking party but “mUh VoTe GeT tHrOw AwAy!!!”
Cope and seethe buddy, hope you never wind up in that situation. I used to think the same thing until I got robbed the first time and had a gun shoved in my face while I watched all my shit get stolen in front of my face. Called the cops, they did nothing.
Good puppet.

Still not continuing the conversation, I see.
Where am I continuing the conversation? This is not the conversation we were previously having.
This is an entirely new conversation where you make a fool out of yourself, and I point and laugh at you.
The previous conversation was about me making totally valid points and you shitting on them with unrealistic idealism. If you lived in the real world, you would understand that the only place where idealism works is charity and your vote in regards to US politics. The fact you have it twisted is absolutely absurd to the point where I refuse to coversate with you on such topic.
Right here.
The current conversation you can’t let go of started when I deeply offended you by saying that every gun owner thinks they’re responsible. Every school shooter, every negligent “I didn’t know it was loaded” tragedy, every last suicide, without a single fucking exception, thought at the time that they were a responsible gun owner. But since your personal identity as a Responsible Gun Owner requires that to be a title you can convey upon yourself, you can’t admit that anyone who claims it can be mistaken. Because what if you’re one of the mistaken ones?
Now have the last word. Unlike you, I can end a conversation without pretending to start a new one.
