Makes me wonder what kind of people are that. Having such a handmade weapon and worse not taking care / precautions that a 3 y/o can access it...

his parents are now investigated. rare thing, investigating parents. lots of death of children is just described as bad accident and of no consequences to the family who have put the lives of the small ones in danger...

What a tragedy, not only for the deceased but for the sibling who will grow up bearing the responsibility for his brothers death. Not sure which is worse....

i do not know what to think here. maybe he will take no mi culpa attitude. right now he does not understand anything. but his parents do.

i don't care about guns per se. but people who have them should know how to use them and how to store them.

My one was not playing war, when he was 3 years old... but my son did not and has not seen everything on TV like many other kids here... coming back to careless parents etc....

When my kids were young, my son would probably have shot someone if I had had guns around the house.
No control over your kids?

We had guns all over as a kid. Everybody I knew did. They were like hammers or screwdrivers. Heck, I even took my first .22 to school for Show 'n Tell. Must have been 3rd grade. Walked to school with it.

and this is the answer how kids shoot other kids. I'm assuming you are from the US?

I think you missed the point that this refers to a (better?) America some decades ago where sh** like that happening wasn't on the daily menu...
