This is why you don't keep loaded guns around toddlers.

Gun safety is not hard. We never have these problems here and in this county everyone has guns.

What are your gun laws dealing with fully automatic firearms/sbr/DDs?

You have to be 18, Swiss citizen or have our equivalent of the the green card to buy guns. There are no age restrictions for using guns. Some nationalities are barred from using guns (mainly people from former Yugoslavia).

Non-automatics are free to buy for anyone without restriction.

To buy a Semi-/automatic gun from a store you need a weapon buying license. To get one, you go to the post office, pay $40 and they'll collect and send in the paperwork to the canton (our equivalent of a state). The canton pretty much checks your criminal record for violent crimes. If you're clean, you'll get a license that's valid a month and allows you to buy 3 weapons at a time. i.e. go to store, buy 3 guns, come back the next day, buy 3 guns again, etc.

Weapons bought from private persons don't require any license, but you have to make a written contract.

Sound suppressors and laser pointers are illegal.

Ammo is unrestricted (and often government subsidized).

Buying guns with huge calibers can get a little problematic, but not impossible. Aside from that there aren't really any restrictions in regards to size.

Gun control is pretty lax here because we have conscription and everyone in the military takes their weapons home. Once your conscription is over, you can buy the gun for next to nothing. In a normal household, you'll usually have 3+ assault rifles, one from each generation. If there are any officers in the family, they'll also have a pistol.

That about covers it I think.

ok so if the girls mom was in the room how the hell did she not know the difference between her/husbands gun and the wii controller?

And what was the husbands gun doing where a 3 year old could get it? Bad parenting, not a gun control issue.

Hurray!

The gun itself isn't the problem as long as it's not loaded. I live alone and yet I'm still anal retentive when it comes to gun safety. There is no excuse for having a loaded gun lying around

Maybe a revolver but certainly not with todays clip loaded weapons.

Just a few things my 3 year old daughter knows

• don't touch the kitchen knives, they are ouchy and can hurt you
• don't touch the stove, or anything on the stove, they are ouchy and can hurt you
• don't walk near a street without mom or dad holding your hand, we live next to a school, there are teenagers with cars around, they are ouchy and can hurt you
• don't touch dad's rifles or pistols, they are especially ouchy and can hurt you
• do not eat or drink anything that doesn't go in the pantry or 'fridge
• don't touch electrical outlets, or put anything in them..  ouchy, hurt.. you know the deal

There's so many ways for a kid to get hurt. 
Being a complete moron and leaving a loaded, cocked, and unsafed weapon laying next to the Wii should be unthinkable. 

I am personally 100x more likely to accidentally walk out in public with my dick hanging out of my pants, than I am to leave a loaded, cocked, ready-to-fire weapon within reach of my daughter.  But, that's just me..

Mmmm.. M-1 Garand.  Gotta love those old-school clip fed weapons. 
Though the "ping" it made, announcing to the enemy that you were officially out of ammo.. not such a great feature, apparently.

Use that to your advantage though, have one guy run out and his buddy sits next to him with a full clip waiting.

Or just have an empty clip period and throw it at the ground so the enemy thanks you're reloading then shoot the motherfucker.

The ping comes from the clip being ejected, not from hitting the ground. therefore, it wouldn't make the same noise.

What game on the wii would want you to point gun at your face?

Shame there isn't a law banning stupid people from owning a gun.
