Sigh. Another needless death due to bad parenting. As any responsible firearms owner will tell you, they should be stored locked up in a separate location from the ammunition. You should NEVER keep a weapon loaded. This was a grave oversight by the parent. The children should have been taught about the firearm and to stay away from them at the very least. Unless the weapon was knocked over and/or accidentally discharged, then it is not the fault of the weapon. It worked as intended.
I am a gun rights supporter, but I do believe that a course on firearms safety/operation should be required to purchase them. The course should be readily available by the state and free to citizens who choose to exercise their right to bear arms. This way there would be no excuses.
