Neither are those that advocate for gun ownership Every one of those incidents happened because the adult that owned the fire arm was negligent. For every one he portrays I can find 100 tragedies that happened and had nothing to do with firearms. These tear jerker pieces to promote a point are not an argument. There are already laws on the books that cover criminal negligence. You need prosecutors that will use them. Owning a firearm comes with a very grave responsibility that is not to be taken lightly. A stricter law of any kind would not have stop one tragedy in his article. People need to use their brain for more then holding their ears a part. If you have a weapon in your home and Children or Teenagers are there, Lock It UP. I physically disassemble mine while my Grandchildren are in my home and Lock them Up. I also have no problem teaching my grandchildren how to handle and use a firearm safely. What you understand and are taught to respect is no longer a problem.
