... it can be explained how, compared to sane gun laws, this is really the best way to run our society?

In many states the parents who allowed unsupervised use of a firearm by a child leading to death would be facing criminal charges. Somehow I doubt that this is the case in Kentucky - although one can hope.


Please note the trajectory a round accidentally discharged by this Responsible Gun Owner would take. I believe this weapon is a "Cricket" the same as that used by the five-year old to kill his sister.

These are not toys people.
