In the next legislative session Connecticut will be presenting Ethan's law. This is in memory of Ethan Song, The boy from Guilford who accidentally shot himself. The news reports how the family has got this big push on for Ethan's law dealing with gun safety and Storage. But let's really look at what happened. Ethan Song was at his friends house. His friend's father had a gun that was unloaded and in a locked container on the shelf in the master bedroom closet. The keys to the lockbox and the ammunition were in another place. So Ethan goes and locates the keys and the ammunition, breaks into the lock box, removes the gun, loads it and shoots himself. And the parents think that it's an irresponsible gun owner that caused this. Maybe if you taught your child not to rummage through other people's houses, and their closets, this wouldn't have happened. Take responsibility for your poor parenting. It's a sad thing to lose a child and we sympathize with you but you can't put the blame on anybody but yourselves.
