Many states have mandatory training. This is nothing new. Here we have it and you can do private party transfers.
Notice how this woman should have taken "gun safety".......but no one seems upset when gang members don't take a class on not shooting others.

We have border patrol agents being shot from across the border, where is the concern here??
Guns are not the problem......the only one paying the price here is the family. When border agents get killed by drug cartel this is harming all of us!
That's it, really. Would she be any less dead if the toddler had, say, gotten hold of her steering wheel in heavy traffic?
Oh yeah, because that happens all the time, right? Kids wrestling away the steering wheel from a full grown adult... The difference is that accidental gun deaths and injuries DO happen all the time here in the United States.
Glock 19? Was that the model? Compact 9 mm. Striker fired (meaning the gun is partially cocked with a round in the chamber). Light trigger pull (around 5 pounds). No manual safety. Not a gun to be carried loose in a purse.
everbody is too eager to blame the owner of the gun, how about holding the 2-year old accountable for a change.
ironically the lady had just received a new purse for Christmas from her husband that contained a gun pocket inside otherwise she would likely have her gun in her holster as she previously had done.

Nice dodge. That wasn't the point of my post. Why don't you address the rest? Mmmm...because you can't cherry pick it?
all he will have to do is ask about his mom and any kid would ask. his friends can also tell him as well as google. you really think a kid could shoot his mother dead at 2, go through life and never realize it.
You are correct, the kid will know.
I'd have no guilt about whatever it is that occurred when I was 2.
It's a tragic accident, it's not like the kid was 15, tripped out on bath salts and beat her to death with a hammer.
Gun could have also gone off while in her purse if she grabbed it or picked the toddler up and his foot kicked the purse.
Gun should have been on safety or in a holster.
