Guns are great, but they need to be kept out of little kid's hands until they can be taught how to use them safely.
Right, but how exactly do they enforce that law? Do they inspect your home randomly? Or is it based on the trust system and if you get caught shooting someone then you also get hit with that charge as well?

I highly doubt all Canadians meet those minimum requirements. There is no way to enforce such a law. That is why gun control laws would not have done anything to prevent this incident. The parents should have had the weapon out of the child's reach, period. This is an "idiot incident", we don't need another 10 laws trying to prevent something like this happening again when common sense can't even prevent it.

Stupid people... that's all it was.
