You're right sam, gun laws won't help stupid people since they are aimed at criminals, not stupidity. However, nobody was commenting on gun laws except you. I believe the OP was aimed primarily at the insane and irresponsible "everybody needs a gun" culture promoted by the arms industry (via the NRA) that has resulted in flooding of the country with weapons, thus increasing everybody's risk of these kinds of consequences. Any dimwit can get a gun...no training, no insurance, no safeguards of any kind are needed.
As for your child question, there are plenty of guns that have an easy enough action that a child can fire them.
