In that case the parents should be prosecuted for manslaughter. My
kids have been raised with guns and taught how to use them and NOT use
them. Kids get into trouble with guns when parents refuse to allow
them to play a part in their use - making them a taboo, a mystery.

My guns are secured by the knowledge I have given to my kids. Other
than that, they're in the most secure place on earth, my hip.

A book I highly recommend if you're interested in actually learning a
little something rather than reacting:
http://www.amazon.com/Gun-Proof-Children-Massad-Ayoobs-Handgun/dp/0936279052/ref=sr_1_9/102-5292184-8828965?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188402328&sr=1-9

This one is actually two books - you'll learn a lot from both.
