+1. I’m hopeful the parents didn’t actually
provide the gun to the child but if the parent(s) left the gun where the kid could access it then the level of irresponsibility is astounding. There are far too many irresponsible gun owners. Even the ones that know the rules and claim to be responsible are guilty at times. I recently witnessed someone showing off one of their guns to someone. They unloaded it and told me to look through the scope because they were touting it as super high quality. I didn’t touch the thing, they just held it up by my face and told me to look through it but by holding it up to my face, they were pointed it right at someone sitting on the couch! I objected and told them not to point the gun at people and their response was, “It’s not loaded.” WHICH DOESN’T MATTER. The rule is that you don’t point a gun at people period, even if it’s not loaded.
