A three-year-old "unintentionally" shot and killed a 4-year-old? No, the truth is that whoever the monster is that left the gun within reach of the 3-year-old is wholly and intentionally responsible for the death of the 4-year-old. The worst form of child molestation is shown in this horrific example of the right-wing misuse of the US Constitution to "intentionally" arm and enable the segment of our society that belongs to the cult of irresponsible gun ownership.

And another innocent child dies due to the idiocy of the Second Amendment Absolutists, and their lethal fetish: the gun.
