Very tragic. Shame on the Parent/s for not teaching their Children the dangers of a firearm and not keeping the weapon locked and out of site. You know, we can go on and on about this but the fact is, a 14 yr old girl is DEAD. BEFORE you bring a weapon into a home with Children, you better make sure You have a safe of some sort and a lock first!
Yeah, they were familiar with the weapon, that maybe they had handled it before. NOT! The only thing they were familiar with was to point and shoot! My Kid's are 6 and 14. They know the dangers of a gun and also know the gun cabinet. They do not know what is in it nor do they know where the Other hidden safe is. Out of site, out of mind. They can snoop all they want, yet I feel that comfortable they will never find the location. And if someone replies to this comment that They will eventually find it. So what, they still cannot get it opened. Adding, IF they get it opened there is nothing in there because the firearm/s is on me. I have safes, locks, firearms, spoke to My Kid's, took NRA gun courses which included Safety as ALL courses do. If these Parents took the neccessary precautions of owning a firearm, their little girl would be alive. I guess what I am saying is that I'm doing my part as a Parent to be as responsible as I can owning firearm/s with Children in the household. Sorry, but I just had to vent on this because this should not have happened and I know it still does everyday in this world we live in. Oh, and to answer Your question.........I blame the owner of the weapon / Parent/s.
Prayers out to the Family.
I think it's more like: Children shoot themselves or others at least 83% of the time they have a gun in the home for more than 99.98% of the time that children handle 70% +\- loaded or unloaded weapons of mass destruction.
Whatever statistic will make you want to vote anti-2A is fine with me.
Remember boys and girls, 100% of statistics are B**l S**t at least 50% of the time.
