Some parents are in denial, and others know. But, how to best address it is not always clear.
Anyway, most of the cases of children pulling the trigger don't involve unhinged or angry kids. They just involve "kids".
No matter how many times the kids have been told not to touch the guns without mom or dad, or given safety education, they're curious and their brains aren't developed enough to connect actions and consequences in the same way as rational adults.
Unlocked loaded guns shouldn't be accessible to unsupervised kids, period, no matter the nature of the specific kid. It's extremely negligent for any parent or guardian to take that risk with their own child's life and the lives of others, in my opinion. McKayla is dead because Benny Tiller's parents were irresponsible gun owners / negligent parents.
