At some point you have to consider when one person's rights invade another person's rights. In this instance, gun rights trampled on both kids rights.

How did gun rights violate the kids rights? Your rights and my rights to gun ownership did not cause that trigger to get pulled.
I agree it's a sad situation for all involved, especially for the parents and the brother. Those parents will be held accountable and have to live with it for the rest of their lives.
But this notion that you can regulate society in to a safe haven is rediculous. You want all Americans to give up their rights and freedoms over one person's dumb ass mistake? I know I don't.
Should we outlaw bath tubs because a child can accidentally drown in them?
Should we outlaw bicycles because a child can accidentally fall and break an arm?
Should we outlaw dirt bikes because a tree might get in the way and cause a crash?
Should we outlaw stoves because a child could touch a hot surface and get burned?
Ands so on?
