I disagree. If hes never been taught what a gun can do or how to safely handle it and make it clear its unreasonable for them to know what to do. It just another reason we should teach gun safety and how to unload a firearm in school. Even if someone anti gun can agree with that.
I don't know about that. I never received any formal firearms training as a kid, yet way before I was 15 I knew that being on the receiving end of a bullet would be detrimental to my health.
When you put it that way, how do we know it wasn't suicide? I wonder how many accidents are actually suicides?
Anyway, we don't have kids, so these laws annoy me, can we get a waver? Also for the other gun control, I'd like a waver from that too. . .
Wait, we already have a waver it's called the second amendment.
Never mind.
I cant help but wonder if the gun control players and/or complicit Media dosnt jump in the ambulance and race to the scene to get their little sound bite after coaching the anti gun rant a little so that they can further the anti message quickly to the masses, the old never let a good tragedy go to waste deal!
And I agree with every one here, a locked gun should have been safe enough, and the fact that kid unlocked it and loaded it first amd then shot his self in the head screams suicide to me! And yes, teaching kids fun safety should be required in school, and the home wether there are guns in the home or not! Sure, blame the parents, but in this case, i don't as they did take the reasonable step in locking the guns up! Yea, the keys and ammo should not have been accessible, but..........
What if those guns were meant for home protection?
"No formal" training but I take it you had fired or at least seen one fired in person? .
Nope. Didn't get into firearms until my 20's.
Sorry, It doesn't take a future rocket surgeon to understand the side effects of being shot, even in todays society.
all others must bare.
When my daughter was about 15 I was surprised by how many of her friends were incredibly oblivious to life in general.

And this is pet of the problem, demonizing an inanimate object when the root cause of the problem was user error and/or ignorance! Parents should be charged with first degree manslaughter. Case closed.The media of course is NOT going to make well known that the kid found an empty, locked gun, then unlocked and loaded it. Then call it an accident. If the kid had found the keys to the parents car, got in and drove it stolen, then died, I wonder if his parents would have been crying for the camera's saying they needed more laws?
This is why when my son was 12 I bought him a 10/22 and myself a G19. I taught him safe gun handling. I also took him shooting a lot. Curiosity killed the cat, I killed his curiosity about guns.
This is providing they themselves know what it takes to survive - and the average parent these days is pretty naive.it is one of the jobs of a parent to teach the young what they need to know to survive.
