US woman dies after 3-year-old son accidentally shoots her

You need a gun to protect yourself. What do you do if an armed criminal breaks into your house? Such irresponsible parents would likely not hesitate to leave the kid with drugs, knives, etc.

The simplest but the difficult way ( for non-intellectuals ) is to create a society where the entire socio-economic system is arranged so that everyone is satisfied materially so that socio-economic crime ( theft, burglary and mugging ) no longer exists, then the social system and political system is arranged so that the citizens are satisfied spiritually and in harmony so that crimes such as thuggery, drug addiction and religious fanaticism and psychopathy no longer exist and when they do pop up they are crushed with force.

In the current circumstance in Capitalist societies the government allowing people to keep guns and learn martial arts is just half measures, actually running away from actually resolving the problems. USA governments have allowed the citizens to keep guns for the last 231 years ( ! ) but has crime stopped in USA ?

A loaded gun In the back seat of a car……Good Lord.
That poor boy knowing nothing of what he was doing and what happened. The father owned the gun did he have a carry permit, as no charges have been filed?

THE father of a 3-year-old boy who accidentally shot his mother over the weekend may face gun charges, police said. The family was sitting in their car in a Food for Less store parking lot in the suburb of Dolton when the boy somehow got access to the gun and fired it, hitting his mother.

Investigators determined Watson legally owned the weapon but did not have a concealed carry permit he would have needed to carry it in the car."

It's impossible to have no crime. There will always be criminals and there will always be those of them who illegally acquired guns.

If an armed intruder enters your house, what will you do if you have no gun?

A three-year-old American child accidentally shot and killed his mother while playing with a gun in the suburbs of Chicago, police said Monday.

The tragedy, all too common in the United States, took place on Saturday evening in the parking lot of a supermarket in Dolton, a suburb of the Midwestern city.

The young boy was sitting in the child-seat in the back of a car, with his parents in the front. Without anyone knowing how, he managed to get his hands on his father's pistol.

The child "began playing with it inside the car. At some point the child pulled the trigger," local police chief Robert Collins told AFP.

His mother, Daejah Bennett, 22, was shot in the back of the neck. She was rushed to a Chicago hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The father was taken into custody while police investigated whether he possessed the gun legally and whether he should face charges, Collins said.

The death is just one in a staggering series of comparable accidents.

"Every year, hundreds of children in the United States gain access to unsecured, loaded guns in closets and nightstand drawers, in backpacks and purses, or just left out," and shoot off rounds accidentally, according to a recent report by Everytown For Gun Safety.

The organization, which campaigns for better supervision of firearms and in particular for requirements that they be stored securely, estimates that "unintentional shootings" by minors cause an average of 350 deaths each year.

More generally, firearms are used in approximately 40,000 deaths a year in the United States, including suicides, according to the Gun Violence Archive website.
