Then you are concerned about 17 yos being killed in gang wars? Teens killing themselves? Those are the major causes of child gun deaths. Accidentally being killed with the parents gun is not.

None of those have anything to do with a "_a child is able to get ahold of a parent’s gun and something tragic happens"._ Accidental deaths through that are rare and not a major cause of child deaths.

So, is this just another reason to blame guns? You dont seem to be concerned with other causes of child accidental deaths. It’s all guns, guns, guns.
