Fucking lack of supervision is what this is.
It has nothing to do with guns. When my kid was five and played outside, we used to sit and watch. No tablet, no cell phone, just watching. Yesterday I was outside washing my car and the neighborhood kids were playing outside, no parents at all. There are two houses with kids the same age and they are across the street from each other, and they cross the street all the time. Yesterday the six year old girl - the oldest of them all - waiting for a car to pass before crossing the street, then darted out behind it... Not noticing there was a second car that might have hit her. It wasn't "danger close" but it was the thought.
These kids are four and five years old and completely unsupervised on a daily basis.
