No one can argue that their are tragedies with kids more often these days. But the gun is not the evil it is the parents and their lack of teaching and supervision etc.. It is not only sad it is sick to take the focus off of this tragedy to make it a anti gun rally. Maybe that is why it still happens in a lot of cases because the focus is not on the real thing of blame and that is the parents. Jan I am not attacking you but let me tell you if you have a child and just keep that child away from guns and think you are protecting that child you are misguided by blind fear. That child will be out of your house and control one day and you think they will never run across a gun at a friends house or buy one themselves. Now they know nothing about it and play with it and now you have a real problem and danger. Now if they shoot themselves by accident or someone else who's fault realy is that. Maybe not directly your fault but you bear some guilt because you did not protect them by hidding them from it no more so than if you hide them from driving a car.
