A boy in Indiana died Saturday after finding a gun in his parents’ bedroom, according to WGN News.
Police in Merrillville, Ind. said Cash Irby Jr., 4, brought the gun to his own bedroom, where it fired and shot him in the head. The boy’s parents said he must have climbed on something in their room to get to the loaded handgun, which was kept in a closet.
The Lake County Indiana Coroner ruled the death an accident.

What awesome parents. Everyone knows kids can’t climb. And my daughter certainly wasn’t getting into the kitchen cabinets by dragging over a chair by the time she was three so she could get a cereal bowl.
And once again, TPM sticks with their passive voice. “where it fired and shot him in the head”
I think it would be more correct to say the boy was murdered by the adult(s) responsible for leaving a loaded gun where he could reasonably expected to find it. Negligent homicide, rather than intentional, but homicide nonetheless.
2nd Amendment my ass. These clowns are just careless.

Four year old on Saturday. Six year old on Sunday. Parents maybe think the little tykes don’t have eyes to see where the interesting things are stashed. When a kid OD’s on a parent’s heroin the police don’t shrug it off as an accident. But a gun is somehow different???
Because guns are fucking magical.
