The parents are the sort of people to leave a loaded gun in easy reach of a child. Do you think the read the age rating on games? For that matter, do you think they can even read?Conor said:

Why are 3-year-olds even playing video games? Seriously, I always told myself that I would have any child wait until they pass the 3rd or 4th grade before even touching a console.. Most kids as young as 3 don't even know what's going on anyway.
I would make sure they could read a book before letting them play on video games ..
Blah. Glad I don't have to worry about that.
Blah. Glad I don't have to worry about that.
The question is how do they know that the girl mistook the gun with a Wiimote ? And srsly, I don't know any games in Wii where you must shoot yourself...
Why the gun was charged, with the security unlocked, on a table, without surveillance, accessible for a 3 years child ? Now, every medias/politics/assossiation/everything else against videogames will just say that "videogames r bad fur ur child :@" and no one will incriminate the parents for leaving a weapon on a accessible spot for a child because of this stupid gun law... Can someone tell me WTF is this country ?! I don't think that we have the same definition of "justice"

Dude....to call a THREE-YEAR-OLD dumb because she didn't know the difference between a fake gun and a real gun is lower than low.Satangel said:Dumb child is dumb.
Irresponsible parents are dumb.
That is all.
Oh and this
I hope the next time you go to get a haircut, your barber is "dumb"
You're stupid. The parents (Namely, the father) will be held legally responsible for leaving a loaded weapon where a 3-year-old could grab it.Ritsuki said:

Just came back to check in on the topic and saw a few things, first the gun looks to be a DAO, (don't quote me on it) but a DAO stands for Double Action Only which means there is no hammer to cock and often have no safety as DAO's require a bit more pressure acting as the safety. With that being said the whole "can a 3 year old pull the trigger on a DAO would be surprising" especially for a girl. Can the gun go off if it is dropped? Don't know, never dropped one.
And to anyone who wants to blame the child, I know you’re probably young and no kids of your own but kids don't comprehend death and what it represents. Not only that but they don't understand what the consequences of pulling the trigger are even at a much later age so they don't respect the firearm like they should. My daughter last night who is 7 broke into tears because I was explaining to her that we need to appreciate our time together because age 20 for her will be here soon and she will be off to college and getting a place of her own. She broke into tears and told me she loves me and never wants to leave her home. "What about when you get married," I asked? "I love you dad, I want to live with you forever!" she replied. I am her world right now, fearless because she knows I will always be there to protect her, and if she can't comprehend that she will become an adult then how the hell can she comprehend the concept of death?
Parents are to blame it is just that simple, owning a firearm is big responsibility and not living up to that expectation in nothing short of murder.

I was not blaming the girl for mistaking the gun with a controller, but the people who made the comparison. And for now, no charges has been put on the father. And is it a picture of this guy's weapon and controller ? Cuz' it's a bit easy to take some random weapon and controller who look the same...
I know you weren't blaming the girl. Just because there were no charges filed yet, doesn't mean there won't be charges filed at all.WeaponXxX said:Just came back to check in on the topic and saw a few things, first the gun looks to be a DAO, (don't quote me on it) but a DAO stands for Double Action Only which means there is no hammer to cock and often have no safety as DAO's require a bit more pressure acting as the safety.

The mother said that the girl picked up the gun and it discharged. She made no mention of the girl pulling the trigger.
Also...why are you putting such heavy shit on your daughter when she's only 7...pull that guilt shit when she's an angry teenager and hates your guts.

This is a picture of the guy's weapon, or I wouldn't have posted it.
I blame everyone.
The girl
The parents
The stalker
The company
The democrats
The republicans
The liberals
The conservatives
The canadians
The hockey team
The olympics
The war in middle east
The women drivers
The show CSI (all of them, even NCIS),
The asians
The infomerical spokesmen
The show "Cheaters"
The xbox 360
The wii
The PS3
The xbox 720
The nintendo DS
The man who dresses like a spider and swings from buildings
The guy who rips his clothing off in public then flies around
The people who hate certain other countries just cause it's "cool"
The people who ignorantly follow their country cause the TV said so
And finally, I blame Calvin and Cobbles.

Although if I wanted to own a gun AND had a child in the house, I'd buy a safe or a secure case for it. You don't leave it around the house like your car keys. The stepfather in this case was an irresponsible bastard. Plain and simple. Gun control things aside, this could've all been averted if the father was smart enough to keep the gun out of the reason of well, anyone expect himself.

Yeah, I know, I just didn't appreciate JohannesC's derogatory and offensive (and not even true, this user has no idea about the step father probably) comment, and wanted to offer a plausible answer.
I can understand people being upset about this incident, or thinking the parents are dumb, but making nasty comments like that are totally uncalled for.
EDIT: Also, looking at that picture, I don't think that's commercially available. I'm pretty sure there's a US law that states that toys that look similar to guns have to have some sort of alternate coloring. All the toy guns available here have an orange tip or are orange entirely.

First of all, it's easy to detect if the child shot herself with the gun. There would be gun powder residue on her fingers from firing the shot. Secondly, guns aren't that easy to shoot, at least my dad's aren't, but he has some military grade guns or something for his post-apocalyptic nightmare...I couldn't even pull back on my dad's easily...so it can be rather unlikely that she did shoot herself. Gun angles could also help determine whether or not this was an accident...sorry a bit too much SVU...
