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.

    That at least I think came astroturfed from the billionaire think tanks who’ve been throwing anything they can at the wall to try to discredit Swift, who’s dangerous because she encourages voting. They know there’s nothing to really attack her on (except on stuff like using a jet too much and having expensive tickets, but those things can’t be criticized from the right), so they’re just barfing out anything they can.
