Yes, my father always kept his guns dismantled and in a steel locker in a double locked unit. Here as you know the laws are very strict when it comes to where your firearms are housed. Inspections are common when getting your firearms license. Same should apply there.
What kind of parent leaves a four year old child with access to guns. Should they be prosecuted?
I guess they are glad they aren't the ones who pissed off the little guy.
Seriously, what an odd story. It's hard to imagine a kid that young wanting to injure someone (assuming he isn't mature enough to have a working concept of death) and knowing he could do so with a gun. He has witnessed far too much of something on either television or real life.
And yes, I would hold the parents responsible for neglect in proper gun storage safety and neglect in sheltering his world from inappropriate anger responses. He had to learn that from seeing someone else.

This is the american culture result (effect) about its "love" (passion) for guns/weapons or this child is a little evil's seed. I can not imagine a 4 old child to know use a gun.
Maybe this is too obvious but: how good of a babysitter is a person when they don't notice a 4 year old getting a gun out?
Like i've said previously, that child should NOT have had easy access to that firearm. When i was younger there is no way in hell i could have penetrated my Dads steel safe which you must have here in the UK.
Maybe thats why we don't have incidents like that of the US?
A boy who shot his mother eight times will be sentenced later this month.
Apparently he had argued with his mother about chores, he then got a gun and murdered her.
