A toddler on a family outing to Walmart found a loaded gun in his mother's bag and shot her. This tragic horror is not just about ridiculous gun laws , such as why the hell did she have a loaded gun in a supermarket, why was there no safety on the gun and why does anyone, except law enforcement, have a concealed gun licence (she did), but why little boys, in particular, have this obsession with guns. My grandsons pick up sticks and use the hobby horses' sticks and baseball bats as "guns" and my daughter reckons all little boys do that. She's probably right – but what is putting it into their heads in the first place? Films, television, Nerff guns in toyshops? Ironically, the Sheriff and a Lieutenant stated that "This shooting appears to be accidental". The poor little chap was two, for God's sake.
