This happens way too often.....
Why the hell was a toddler able to get to and play with a loaded weapon? Why the hell was the safety no on? How the hell does this even happen? Okay, sorry for cursing. I almost never do, but in this case....I can't help it.
So..... people keep asking if I read the article and or tells me that the answer is in the article. Of course I read the article...and some think the answer is because she is a drug addict, but this is not my point...This happens WAY WAY WAY TOOOOO OFTEN....and most of the time, the parent is not a drug addict.... This happens way too often....and there must be a way to be able to prevent it...in my work industry, every year I have to take continuing education classes, past the final exam and I can work for another year. Why can't gun owner have to do the same? People are going to hem and haw about it, but too bad. I think if you want to own a gun, you should take continuing education classes and pass the test...and go through GUN SAFETY TRAINING once a year and have it pounded into you head that YOU MUST KEEP your gun safe from yourself, your family and others at all times.

Did you read the article? Your questions are answered in the first sentence
"Crystal meth addict Melissa Adamson, 33, was too high to realise what was going on while her two-year-old son Lokhi Bloom was playing with her loaded .380 Ruger."

SGM Erik Marquez I don't see this as the answer, or the only answer. Yes, she was a druggy, Of course I read the article...in disbelief and was heartbroken, disgusted and mad as hell and is why I posted this...because this happens way too often...and should not happen at all...and it happens to children whose parents are not drug addicts.

A question I keep asking over and over. My dilemma, 2A says you can have a weapon but says nothing about the owners ability to safely handle and store them. Obviously some people should not have them.

Colorado's controversial 'red flag' gun bill becomes law. Some sheriffs would rather go to jail...
Colorado's controversial "red flag" bill was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis on Friday, with more than half of the state's counties declaring opposition to it and many sheriffs promising not to enforce it at all.

Florida's Red Flag Law A Model, But It Shouldn't Be
The Sunshine State reacted in the wake of Parkland and passed several controversial gun control laws. Now, one's a model for other states. That's bad.

More than half should not have them. The only thing that prevented mass shootings in the past was low population density. If you needed to you could always kill natives

The obvious answer is the simple one, she shouldn't have owned a weapon as a prohibited person (Druggie) Where were all the concerned folks that new she was a druggie, had a gun and a child? Crickets chirping. Read the constitution which was written by some very wise folks. They included methods of amending it. Again you don't get to tell anyone they need training to apply their rights. This is why we live in a republic, so our rights are frittered away due to emotional upheaval.

Sgt Kelli Mays - You clearly do not understand how "gun safety" course is an infringement on the 2A. How about this for an example...You have to pay $500 for this gun safety lecture. It is only held once a year. If you miss it, no gun permit. If you fail, no gun permit. And there is no guarantee you will get your permit, because it is a "may issue" state. That is what would happen if you start adding hoops to a right. Your certification to maintain being a teacher is nowhere near the same, nor relevant.

The 2A is or is not. Any Amendment will go into monumental volumes of regulations and probably cause the formation of a Federal Agency to regulate it. Remove it and let local laws take over. That will allow some states to have live fire drills in elementary school.
