To answer this, If someone makes the choice to have a weapon in their home for protection or sport or any other number of valid reasons, They have an ethical, moral and of course legal responsibility to make sure the weapons in question are secured. If you have a child or children, then the gun owner may want to reevaluate the merits of having a weapon at home or elect to either get rid of the weapons or take increased actions to make sure they are secured. Again, it's a question of accountability and being a responsible gun owner.

Should the parent be held responsible ? In most jurisdictions, sanctions in the form of the filing of criminal charges will most likely be filed for failing to secure the weapon used. It's simple, if you have weapons which are relatively expensive to own, invest the same amount of money to make sure they are secure.

This is a different matter relative to holding a legally authorized gun manufacturer or seller legally responsible for a death or accident once it has left their respective factory or store and beyond their control.

Thanks for the answer

You are more than welcome. It was a good question. It's also one the courts have grappled with for some time.

[Betonov]

Damn that looks good.
And I wouldnt say no to the food either.

I would, that stuff looks nasty! And lobster for breakfast is just not American!

This is more like it (think of the guns being present, just not in the picture.)

I recall talk of political correctness gone mad in America, and how some university lecturers were advised against mentioning certain subjects for fear of the reaction of the students.

I see what you mean now:

That can only benefit the education system.

In US universities anything students disagree with is deemed hate speech, and in the UK they try to no platform people to prevent them from speaking. It's completely mad to the point of liberals and conservatives teaming up to fight what is known now as the regressive left. There are several good youtubers making videos on the topic such as sargon of akkad, undoomed, thunderfoot, and the amazing atheist. It is quite interesting to watch.

Senior Right-to-Carry permit holder shoots two attackers, WPVI, Philadelphia, Pa. 03/03/2016

A 65-year-old resident and his wife were walking home from their business in Philadelphia, Pa. when a pair of men attacked them. The resident, a Right-to-Carry permit holder, responded to the attack by drawing a .45-caliber handgun and firing at the assailants, striking them both and causing them to halt their attack. Police caught up with the attackers a short time later and transported them to the hospital. The armed citizen did suffer injuries during the incident, with his attorney telling a local media outlet, “This was a matter of life or death. If he didn't do what he did, and he didn't have the training to do it. I think we would be at a funeral right now. It's that bad.” (WPVI, Philadelphia, Pa. 03/03/2016)

And this is in no way a ludicrous exaggeration.

No SIR.

And we need to start holding accountable adults that don't secure their weapons and allow children to have access.

Part of responsible gun ownership is properly securing the weapon. It needs to be part of the law.

If we are seriously considering holding gun manufacturers accountable (which I disagree with), we first need to hold legal gun owners accountable.
