A dead child. Again

Is any one person or thing to blame?  People do keep guns in their house, perhaps more now than ever before.  Parents, good ones, assume their children will listen to them and follow the rules of not touching or experimenting  with them.  But then, we parents also forget. Our children sometimes also momentarily throw the rules aside.  Their curiosity is much stronger than their reasoning or ability to handle any weapon.   We  know that but as time passes, we grow older and we forget about our own childhood misadventures.  A local weather caster blinded himself in one eye by a moment of not thinking when lighting fireworks.  So accidents can and do happen at any age.  As adults though, we must remember, for our and our children's sake.  Parents, not only put the guns away, but lock them up and keep the key with you.  Let the burglars come.  We may get robbed or hurt but maybe, just maybe, a child won't be dead, yet again.  One is one too many and we've had more than our share in SE Michigan...................................marge
