People need to start securing their firearms better.

Even as a long time gun owner/enthusiast who owns everything from handguns to ARs/AKs/etc... I still think there's something to the Czech system of gun ownership licensing that tests not only firearm proficiency, but overall safety, knowledge, and intelligence as well.

4 year olds shouldn't have access to adult purses. Especially when medicine and ''guns'' are in it. I hope the grandma is charge murder/ endanger to children . This is in excusable.
