5 year old shots and kills another 5 year old with family gun **Ignorance is no different than parent shooting the child**

Why aren’t parents with guns using gun locks, keeping guns in a safe, childproofing, and not going to jail when their child shoots and kills someone? I believe everyone has the right to own a gun and use it for self-defense. What I can’t get my head around, is why are children/teens gaining access to guns. There are headlines weekly about children/teens gaining access to parents’ guns. This is fixable and impacts all children/teens. Why does another child have to die for the ignorant behavior of a parent? The article is from a British Newspaper, Pierce Morgan tweeted the article to his followers with less than kind words about America. It’s sad, I had to agree with him. The killing of a child with your gun is no different from you pulling the trigger. Parents need a life sentence for killing the child.
