shocked by incidents like this. The death of this child can most likely be laid at the doorstep of an irresponsible gun owner. Gun ownership must come along with responsible behavior. Irresponsible gun owners belong in jail.

Edit to add:
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The time has come to stop treating incidents like this as tragic accidents. There is nothing accidental about this death. It is negligent homicide. Until authorities start to treat incidents like this as a crime, young children will continue to shoot themselves or others. Adults are expected to protect the young, not enable incidents like this.
