Lmao it’s a 7 year old child

If you can’t figure out how to prevent a literal 7 year old from accessing a gun you are in no way shape or form responsible enough to own a firearm with a child in the house

That's exactly my point. Most gun locks by themselves are woefully unsafe and inadequate, and, if you're a gun owner, the buck stops with you to keep it safe.

I grew up around guns, with my family owning over a dozen. Not once was a loaded gun ever kept in the house. Not once was ammunition stored together with the gun. Both were kept in steel safes with both a pick-resistant key AND a six-digit combo when at home, and often they were kept offsite (i.e., away from kids - me) in a small 24/7 storage locker.

It's really not that hard or expensive to do gun ownership right - these parents have no excuse.

You realize how stupid saying “maybe the child broke into the thing made by adults to keep other adults out” is, right? He didn’t break into a gun safe. He picked up a gun lying around
