Christopher Ingram wrote a news report in the San Diego Union Tribune on 15 Oct 2015 that said that on an average of one time per week a toddler shoots someone. See this article I didn't find any information about any punishment for the gun owners when a child got their hands on a gun. Apparently there are no laws requiring people to keep guns out of children's hands?
There were several other commentaries about this situation -- all were interesting. See below:

It seems to me that the gun lobby should consider reasonable laws to protect people and children from such situations. They always talk about "responsible gun owners" -- but apparently all gun owners are not, necessarily responsible!
