Horrifying. No words really. The kid is blameless, who the fuck leaves a loaded gun lying around with tiny unsupervised children. My heart goes out to all involved though, I don't know how any of them recover from something like this.
So tired of news like this. I wish this country would get their act together and ban handguns and assault rifles for most civilians. Need something to defend your house? Get a regular shotgun, and get licensed to use it and have it locked up. Hand guns are way too prone to accidents like this, and have no use but to kill other humans.
732 last year, children under the age of 12 killed or injured.

I feel bad for that kid when he grows up, learning he killed someone and he won't even remember doing it. Keeping guns out of the hands of children it seems so obvious. Yet so many people dont even thing to make sure to do that.
Toddlers shoot people an average of once a week in the US: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...eekly-basis-this-year/?utm_term=.383a1c45d0b7

Too much of this country simply does not respect firearms.
People leave loaded firearms around the house without a second thought. If your weapon is out of it's case, the location of that weapon needs to be an ever persistent thought.

This wouldn't have happened if that 1 year old had a gun to defend himself. /s
In all seriousness though what a tragedy. Such a senseless death and for what? Because the parents couldn't handle responsible gun ownership. And that's the thing...the gun should have been locked up and out of reach, but that doesn't really help the keeping a weapon for defense argument then. You'd never get to it by time you need it.
People are better off without guns altogether.

JFC. Compare that to the 128 officers that died in the line of duty in 2017.
It's more dangerous to be a kid in America than to be a cop.
100% the parents fault and they should be in jail and their remaining child should be taken away/cared for by someone who's not a complete idiot.
Who TF leaves a loaded gun out where children can get to it? Or leaves a loaded gun out at all.

We haven't reached the non-acceptable number requiring action yet. If there is one.
Hopefully not, but it's gonna take a herculean effort on the part of the people they raise them. Cant even imagine how they are going to be able to hide the grief and possible (irrational) blame thats going to come.
Astonishing. Truly, how does a country look at these figures and not do something drastic to change them. 123 this year alone, I mean.....wow.
Ugh. Can you imagine having to deal with this as their parent? How could you possibly live with yourself? Assuming you're not a deadbeat piece of garbage human being.
How could you leave a loaded gun lying around where toddlers roam
You're virtually wanting a tragedy to occur

That's ridiculous.

All my firearms are secured and are never left unattended, regardless of whether there is a child at the house or not. Unfortunately, there are too many cases where a parent or relative left a loaded, unsecured firearm in places a child can access. You can, depending on the state of course, charge the parents with child endangerment or more.
