They left a gun...
On the table...
Loaded...
With a 3-year-old in the house...
How stupid could they possibly be?!
Sick bastard. How the hell is a 3 year old supposed to know what a gun is? Fuck yourself you bastard. Banhammer be damned
He's blaming the parents for leaving a gun lying around, not the child. Kids die every year from pool accidents, pulling down pots of boiling water, sticking metal utensils into power sockets, drinking chemicals... a huge variety of household accidents.
It never stops being tragic when this happens. Of course the kid didn't know what the gun is, or at least if she was familiar with gun shapes, probably had no idea she was in any danger.
The parents are to blame for leaving a loaded gun lying around where a three year old could access it. They can possibly link the possibility that it looked like a gun to the child's experience with the Wii controller.
But they can't blame the peripheral, Nintendo, the accessory maker or the gaming industry in general for their ineptitude and lack of gun safety.
