The tragedy happened in Burk Hills of Kentucky in April this year. Caroline died from hitting a bullet fired by her brother. He was five years old. His father gave the rifle for kids as his birthday present last year.
When 26 elementary school students' lives were robbed from the blind firing case in Connecticut, Obama tried to restrain using rifle, but he comes to a deadlock because of National Rifle Association of America. Many rifles are on the market now.
The rifle of Caroline's brother is bought easily. This price is about 13600 yen. Many parents of children 5 or 6 years old often buy it. What children use rifle for sports or hunt is lawful in the most of states.
Rifle makers had an eye on young children because they needed to pioneer new market when the rifle market was saturate in 1990s. And it was granted that children use rifles in countryside. Hunting cultures have taken root there. Parents make their children use rifles.
A lot of people appeal for that a prohibition kids using rifles. But some states having many hunting people oppose the rifle regulation. They think that adults have to manage rifles for safety of children. This is the moral taught by Caroline.
