My thoughts exactly. What happened to the old days when we all kept loaded weapons away from kids? Kids always have been and always will be curious about anything they find in the home. Even in places above their level can be dangerous. Kids climb up on counter tops all the time.
I don't know if it happens more these days than it did in years gone by. I do believe that in general people have got dumber while guns go off easier. Yesterday's guns would be a little more difficult for a 2 or 3 year old to operate than today's modern Glock. Long double actions and/or real safeties were a little more difficult to overcome for a little one. When you have kids around the guns need to be locked up whenever they aren't under direct control of a responsible adult.

It only takes a second.
