You say ....
Unless we are going to outlaw stupid parents there is nothing that will prevent this scenario
exactly my point..we cant stop stupidity.
So why help the stupid people by being even more stupid and pig headed by making guns kids would be more likely to grab?
that is my argument...cause on this me and others could argue till i am blue in the face...pink and color painted guns DRAW a child to them...children will find a handgun or any gun i get that.....but why draw a picture on it begging a kid to grab me GRAB ME.
If you dont got a child you will never understand my point...they are drawn to bright color's like moth to a flame.
hence why toy's are not gun metal in color 99% of the time... they are bright color to pop out and demand buy me pick me up..and in gun's case's shoot me.
Tell me if you was a kid you wouldn't grab that gun in that picture..if can say with 100% conviction if you was 7 year's old and found that gun and bullets painted up in a field ect...you wouldn't grab it..if so i call BS!!!

The child even at three should know not to touch items that do not belong to him.

Sad story.
I also have wondered about the pink gun phenomenon. But they are out there in greater numbers because the manufacturers are catering to female clients. Even the aftermarket accessories or stocks and grips can be had in pink. If that does not float your boat their is Dura Coat paint in any color.
The bottom line for any gun owner with children in the house is to securely lock it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A solid quick access pistol vault can be had for under $150. No excuse for this gun getting into the hands of a 3 year old.
The gun owner now has to live with this for the rest of their life.

You can always tell a person who doesn't have kids..

Kid's are sneaky and are drawn to bright color's EVERYONE knows this.
There is a reason all little children toy's are bright color's....they did a lot of research to prove children love it!!!
