A toddler somehow got his hands on a pistol and fatally shot himself in the head in a tragic accident in Fresno, California, on Saturday.

Police told Fresno ABC station KFSN the child was in a bedroom at his home when the accidental shooting occurred. The child's parents were not home at the time, but he was being watched by family friends.

Police said it was unclear who owned the gun, whether it was the child's parents or the adults watching the child at the time.

2. Guns don't kill people. Gun owners kill people.

4. When will the parent who owned the gun be charged?

7. Never, thanks to the NRA

They would say the tree of liberty needs to be watered in the blood of toddlers for us to be "free".

8. Not today - California requires a seven-day waiting period:

25120. (a) If a person who allegedly violated Section 25100 is the parent or guardian of a child who was injured or who died as the result of an accidental shooting, no arrest of the person for the alleged violation of Section 25100 shall occur until at least seven days after the date upon which the accidental shooting occurred.

13. A 7 day grieving period then the parent can be arrested on the 8th day, correct?

5. Parents murder toddler through acts of criminal negligence.

There's no such thing as an "accidental" shooting.

6. I hope whoever owns the gun goes to prison for manslaughter

so many of these deaths go unpunished as a "tragic accident".
I don't ascribe to that bullshit. Tragic yes. Accident no.

9. Yet gunners continue to oppose smart guns and locks that would prevent that. They are concerned

that the technology might not work properly when they need to shoot their spouse, an unarmed teenager, a neighbor, someone stealing a pink flamingo from their front yard, etc.

10. Or a black kid coming home from the store after buyin some candy

11. Exactly. Ironically, the Gengeoneers here actually had a thread going about the time

Zman murdered Trayvon Martin about what to tell police if shot shot an unarmed innocent person. Of course, it included that the shooter was afraid for their life.

12. If if isn't a gun it's a phone and 911

for selling water or swimming in a pool or having a picnic or driving while black or mowing a lawn.
