Alot of us have to jump through hoops and have very extensive background checks for our permits. The same should be done for people wanting to have children.
This should have totally been prevented. How hard is it, to walk over to the child, and remove either A) the child from the firearm, or B) remove the firearm from the Childs presence.
I am not a father, but I do have very young nephews. When ever they are over my house, I make sure everything is locked up, even ammo. I make sure nothing is left in sight. I don't understand how parents can be so lax with their children touching loaded weapons at the age of 2. This story really irritated me when I read it because it is something that should have totally been prevented. I do feel bad for the parents in loosing a child, but c'mon, this should have NEVER happened.
Props to all you parents whom take safe measures with your children and firearms. You have my respect.
