The fact is, had these people followed the NRA's or Gun safety messages, this gun would have been locked up preventing this tragedy in the first place.

Point is some people are just to stupid and shouldn't be allowed to breed children. Maybe we should have background checks and require a license in order to breed.

The NRA bears some if the responsibility for gun culture in our society.
This tragedy is the result of banking on the ignorance of the consumer to make money.

Oh making guns to look like toys. Time was people were upset about toy guns looking to real. Now it looks like manufacturers want to make real guns look like toys. I guess they want 'em hooked young. From the article it sort of sounds like this kid had been firing the weapon before the accident took place. Anyway at least candy cigarettes are banned.....

Was there ever a time in history post-guns when boys didn't play with toy guns? Heck we'd use sticks if we had to.

To make you even more depressed () they still sell candy cigarettes, I see them occasionally. They just don't say 'cigarettes':
