Children and Guns
Published: May 7,2013

To the Editor: Re “GirTs Death by Gunshot Is Rejected as Symbol" (news article, May 6):
I find it abhorrent that the people of Burkesville, Ky., are not willing to leam a lesson from the tragic shooting of a 2-year-old girl by her 5-year-old brother. I am not judging their lifestyle of introducing guns to children at a young age, but I do feel that it’s irresponsible not to practice basic safety with anything potentially lethal — guns, knives, fire and so on. How can anyone justify leaving guns lying around, unlocked and possibly loaded, in a home with two young children? I wish the family of the victim comfort during this difficult time, but to dismiss this as a simple accident leaves open the potential for many more such “accidents" to occur. I hope this doesn't have to happen several more times for legislators to realize that something needs to be changed.
