Replace the gun with a car.
How much of the “outside” can a kid access today without taking the risk of being it by a car ? As soon as he crosses the door of the house he risks his life.

Bad straw man, bad.

Not really, no.
Firearms and cars are the top two causes of death for children in the USA.

And that would be great if the initial discussion was about gun vs car deaths. But it’s not, we’re talking explicitly about gun deaths and here about the societal acceptance of a person making conscious decision to shoot a kid over something as stupid as annoying prank.
Now if you want to pull up some data on a person intentionally hitting a kid with a car and killing them for flipping them the bird and how car culture doesn’t see anything wrong with that then sure we can have that discussion then.
