She said unfortunately, incidents like this are a reminder for all gun owners to keep their weapons in a safe place.

Smith said it’s especially important if people are at your home who may be unfamiliar with guns.
...“You need to be educated on guns, everyone does,” she said, “Even if you’re against guns, even if you never want to own a gun.”

I wonder if all these people who have their kids shooting themselveskeep their guns afterwards ?
-Do they still want guns ?
-Does "society" deems they are still trustworthy with a gun ?

Leaving loaded guns where 2 yrs old kids can grab them is NOT a valid educational point in my neck of the woods.

Mine either
and some people should not drive and some should not skydive

So, do we take parachutes and cars away from everyone?

When we allow 2 year olds to use them for their intended purpose, then yes there usually are consequences.

Uhm no, thats not how it works. A car is supposed to drive, a parachute is supposed to slow you down and a gun is intended to fire projectiles.

What did you have in mind for these things? And will you be able to stick to one definition for longer than two posts?

And funny enough in quite a few of those stories people are getting charged....

Hence what I said....usually there are consequences.

Thank you for making my point.

ETA to fix fat fingering....
I would love to see something like the Swiss ... or I particularly like Israel's way of dealing with a "well regulated militia".

You're really doing a crap job of speaking for firearm owners Marc. Strawmanning the hell out of anything someone says isn't helping.

The answer to all these questions is that it depends. In many jurisdictions there is criminal liability if a child does something like this with a firearm of yours. If it constitutes a felony or one of a few disqualifying misdemeanors (which depends on the details and, again, the jurisdiction) then, no, society does not deem them trustworthy with a gun anymore. As for whether they would still want guns? I dunno, and I don't have any interest in changing people's wants.
