    I'm surprised a two year old has the strength to pull the trigger. I would have thought you'd need some strength. Disclaimer - I've never handled a gun so this is an assumption.

    Exactly, this sort of thing is a big reason why gun laws need changing over there. People in defence of them will say that there are already laws on proper storage, and there is, but people clearly can’t be trusted to follow it and therefore shouldn’t be allowed them in the first place. They’ve tried it their way and it’s really not working.

    Comments full of gun owners saying they should be stored safely and locked away. Which is all well and good but then how exactly are they for self defence?
    I just don't see it changing any time soon over there, it's all too ingrained and tribal.

    The right in America will be more upset by the death of the unborn child than anything else in this case.

    Surely the answer here is to arm the unborn children, seems to be their answer to every tragedy, more guns.

    Does that make it easier to pull the trigger? I'm genuinely amazed that a trigger is easy enough for an infant to pull and that the safety wasn't on.

    There will be Americans currently thinking this, or how the parent could have shot the two year old first…. It’s a very weird place.

    I was just answering Helen. Reports said 11 shots left in clip. & I wouldn’t know how easy they are to fire. A revolver would need to be cocked. Which would be difficult for a 2 year old, I would imagine.? :(

    My partner lives alone on Long Island, New York. She’s very liberal & pro gun control. The last person you might imagine to own a gun. But she does, a .38. & I’m glad she does, for as long as she lives alone.
    She won’t mind me telling this, because society isn’t so black & white on the subject.. :(
    I should add, she never takes it out of her house & is rarely loaded..
