I might be wrong - but I doubt I would have been able to do it when I was 3.

On the other side - to have a gun on top of your TV, so a little kid could get it, and shot himself is beyond "just another accident with tragically outcome".. Some should pay for being that stupid, to just have a gun on top of a TV..

I have never own a gun in my 35 year old - and hopefully I would never own one - but even I know that you keep your gun from small kids who might believe it to be a toy gun..

The sad part is, even if the kid survive, he would have damage for the rest of his natural life, maybe he need to have help from the rest of his life, on medication and so one.. And in US, you need to be rich if you have grave handicaps it look like...
