The problem is people, not the guns. This kid should have been locked up a long time before it got to this point.

Kid should know better. Lock him and the parents up
That's some next level negligence. I'm not even a parent and I can see many ways this story doesn't end the way it does. A 6 year old probably ain't loading the gun themselves. Even if you have a gun in the house if it isn't preloaded, in a gunsafe that's locked, or simply put out of reach this doesn't happen. Hell don't handguns have safeties?In his house loaded and not secured...
This is like keeping a candy bowl of Hershey Kisses at knee level height in your home as a dog owner.
Most handguns only have internal safeties, whose purpose is to keep the gun from firing accidentally when the trigger hasn't been pulled, but don't do anything to stop the gun from firing when the trigger is pulled.
And even an external safety would be pretty easy for a 6-year-old to manipulate, it's tougher to unlock a cell phone than to disable a gun's safety and 3-year-olds can do that. What guns need are trigger locks or child safety locks, and the gun lobby has consistently lobbied against the requirement for such measures.
Never owned a gun so I had no idea a safety wasn’t to stop the gun from firing at all. I’ve never understood gun culture or the desire to own guns.

I really love living in a country where closeted homosexuals ability to cosplay in the woods with their buddies (y’all know the type I’m talking about here) is more important than people’s safety
Same with sports.
No, guns are part of the problem too. They're just too easily available and there are just too many in circulation.
A six-year old child's brain isn't even fully developed to the point where they necessarily even realize the consequences of their actions, there are always going to be a certain percentage of young kids that would do something bad if they got access to a gun. But that should absolutely never happen. The fact that it does is symptomatic of too many irresponsible gun owners and too many guns lying around in general where kids (or people in general who don't need to have guns) can get to them.
