Letters Children and Guns Published: May 7,2013 To the Editor: Re "Girl"'s Death by Gunshot Is Rejected as Symbol" (news article, May 6): I find it abhorrent that the people of Burkesville Ky, are not willing to learn a lesson from the tragic shooting of a 2-year-old girl by her 5-year-old brother. I am not judging their lifestyle of introducing guns to children at a young age but I do feel that it's irresponsible not to practice basic safely with anything potentially lethal - guns, knives , fire and so on How can anyone justify leaving guns lying around,unlocked and possibly loaded , in a home with two young children? I wish the family of the victim comfort during this difficult time, but to dismiss this as a simple accident leaves open the potential for many more such "accidents "to occur. I hope this doesn't have to happen several more times for legislators to realize that something needs to be changed. EMILY LOUBATON 201 en: 10 mio 2013. No que diz respeito à tragédia ocorrida em Burkesville, a autora da carta enviada ao The New York Times busca a) reconhecer o acidente noticiado como um fato isolado. b) responsabilizar o irmão da vitima pelo incidente ocorrido. c) apresentar versão diferente da notícia publicada pelo jornal. d) expor sua indig nação com a negligência de portadores de armas. e) reforçar a necessidade de proibição do uso de armas por crianças.
