Micayla Ellis' mother took the suggested precautions with a gun in her home - she locked it up, hid the key and put the ammunition in different locations - but it still wasn't enough to stave off her children's curiosity.
Something about this account isn't adding up. If all the "precautions" were taken, how did this happen?
And what would "be enough"?
The American Academy of Pediatrics has determined that the most effective way to prevent gun-related deaths and injuries to children and adolescents is to remove guns from their homes and communities.
Naturally.
But they don't want to ban guns. They just want to enact "common sense" laws where no one but the authorities have them.
