Well, Personally I believe they should not be allowed guns regardless. Would have prevented this, well the gun shot anyway.
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.

Sure, but stupid people leaving a wooden spoon lying around tend to do less accidental harm than idiots who leave loaded guns around. To be fair, I'm of the opinion that plenty of people with driving licences shouldn't have them because they're too unsafe to trust with a heavy hunk of metal and composite materials that can travel at speeds in excess of 100 MPH.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I thought of this too. Could it not be the real case was that she thought it was a "REAL gun" like she couldve seen people use on TV or even seen her stepfather use.
To blame it on a Wiimote controller (which you hardly see it in a gun accessory) is a horrible excuse when there are more exposure of real guns in in the world. Americans just love to blame everything violent on video games.

Yeah, but I noticed the kids who come over hold toy guns usually the way I described.
Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!
Kojima: Come out with Project S already!
Wow thats terrible...
also since when can 3 year olds pull triggers? I knew some story about a 10 year old boy who couldn't pull a trigger.. :S
maybe the boy was just weak.. terrible story for that child though :(
Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous
Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5, Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.
this is awful....
So the parents left a gun out where a 3 year old could get to it. I guess Darwin was right. Nature really does weed out the nimrods.
