some of you obviously don't have kids or are never near kids.
A 3-year old kid will play with anything they can get their hands on. The mother thinking the kid thought it was a Wii controller has nothing to do with a child playing with a "toy". "toy" being defined as anything they can get their hands on. It is the adult rational to excuse themselves from responsibility.
A 3-year old child has minimal reasoning capabilities. They can categorize things together, but by only 1 thing. So they may know what a gun is, but to them they are all the same. Just a toy gun. The fact that the gun was pointed at the child doesn't discount that the child was playing with it. And pulling a trigger doesn't take any special skill, just fumbling 3 year old hands that happen to hit it.
