Erik Erickson, author of a blog titled, This is About Stupid Parents, Not Guns, argues that guns aren't the ones responsible when it comes to children finding their parents guns and hurting themselves or others. They're has been at last 43 instances this year where someone was shot by a toddler, and 31 out those 43, a toddler found a gun and shot himself or herself. The media is trying to intentionally talk about these stories to change the peoples minds about guns, when in reality it's just the parents being stupid.
    It is a horrible thing that happens. Erik also sates in his blog that it is preventable. He keeps his loaded guns in a place the children can not access. And those that are not loaded have bullets in one location, clips in another, and guns in another. I agree with Erik because it is common sense to hide loaded guns away from children. The only thing there is to blame are the parents.
   These cases are referred to as "accidents" in the media, but more than two-thirds of these tragedies could be avoided if gun owners stored their guns responsibly and prevented children from accessing them. The piece concludes by blaming the NRA, which actually teaches gun safety and teaches parents how to responsibly own guns. That, of course, is ignored by the left and the media. They instead need someone to blame. Many responsible gun owners are going to be affected by this because stupid people simply don't know how to handle guns.
