Re "Girl's Death by Gunshot Is Rejected as Symbol" (news article, May 6):

I find it abhorrent that the people of Burkesville, Ky., are not willing to learn a lesson from the tragic shooting of a 2-year-old girl by her 5-year-old brother.

I am not judging their lifestyle of introducing guns to children at a young age, but I do feel that it's irresponsible not to practice basic safety with anything potentially lethal — guns, knives, fire and so on. How can anyone justify leaving guns lying around, unlocked and possibly loaded, in a home with two young children?

I wish the family of the victim comfort during this difficult time, but to dismiss this as a simple accident leaves open the potential for many more such "accidents" to occur. I hope this doesn't have to happen several more times for legislators to realize that something needs to be changed.

To the Editor:

Is there any thoughtful, well-reasoned case for the existence of a child-sized rifle?

This is not a rhetorical question. I simply want to know the answer.
