        Heartbreaking doesn’t begin to describe this avoidable tragedy. Irresponsible gun owning parents will sadly have deadly results.

        They didn’t say the gun belonged to the parents it was unclear whether it was the parents gun or the people that were looking after the child

        I'd suggest the person who left an unsecured loaded gun within reach of a toddler should be charged.

        @NRA @DLoesch Can you explain how a good guy with a gun could have prevented this? Does this mean that the toddler was a bad guy?

        This keeps happening because parents who don't secure firearms are rarely charged for anything because they've "been through enough". They should be charged with involuntary manslaughter, then maybe idiots wouldn't leave guns unlocked within reach of children.
