I think these might fall under kelly's "Knowledge of how to shoot?" clause, but seriously, wtf? Don't you at least put a lock on your gun?
Not to get cliche or anything, but
"It's easier to child-proof your gun than bullet-proof your child."
Edit: actually, if the shooter was old enough to take the axe, this would probably be Darwinism at its best.

I'm not talking about availability/opportunity the blame of which undoubtedly falls on the mother. I'm talking about what leads a four-year-old ... A FOUR-YEAR-OLD ... from the thought "I'm angry, I know where mommy's gun is, I know the object of my anger and I will shoot 'it' in the head because that is an excellent kill zone." That's a lot for a four-year-old. Just sayin'
P.S. The inferred question being, "Waht the hell ELSE is going on in that home?!" |
Since when were small children peaceful or inherently good? Think about how poorly a 4 year old can control his emotions, and how excesively angry they get when they don't get what they want. I guess what I'm really getting at is that people (especially males) are born with more natural tendencies towards violence and generally anti-social behaviors than they are with morality or any kind of peacefulness.
