    A point that the media needs constant reminding of!
    Every story that a paper runs on some accidental child gun death should 
be replied to by a flood of letters to the editor pointedly reminding the 
paper that it is no different when a parent leaves matches within the reach 
of his 5-year-old who plays with them.
