It doesn’t matter what country it was, the family lost a baby and that is very sad to read. Why do people have to be so mean and ugly Have some sympathy for the family people.

Ctv joining the fearmongering. That was in Indiana. In canada, legally we have to keep them locked up, trigger locked and unloaded, for anyone that doesn't know our laws.

In Canada, that Handgun would be Empty and Secured (trigger lock and in a safe). You can Stop Reaching !

If you followed the laws in place here in Canada, the gun would NOT be out in the open. Responsible gun owners have them LOCKED UP!!! This is a terrible tragedy, but the USA is much different than Canada when it comes to gun laws! Canadian laws are far more strict!

Tragic.
