Whole lot of political grandstanding over nothing on this.
The PM of Canada is a conservative, so that explains his comments to appeal to his voters.
If guns are left on a kitchen counter in an evacuated home, is it not responsible of them to do something about it? It doesn't appear like they were on some kind of gun hunt..
Kids shoot themselves all the time, and responsible gun owners like they always profess to be, should take this little embarrassing slap on the wrist for not storing their guns safely.
Also you have to figure looting could be a problem, home invasions, etc.. Guns being left out in the open is obviously less than ideal.
