Then tell us what legislation would have surely prevented this incident.
Again, look at seat belts. How many lives have been saved since the law was enacted?, given seat belt use and design back before legislation was enacted. Before the law was enacted you can't retroactively look back and make claims about who would have been saved because it requires action on the part of those that drive, they must use the seat belt. I can't tell you who would have followed the law had there been a law sooner, only that some would have definitely followed the law and would have been saved due to use and improved design.
It's just like the lottery, the chances that you will win are 1 in tens of millions, the chances that someone will win are 1:1. My point is, I can't tell which children would be saved if laws required that owners be responsible for reasonably securing their weapons, but the chances that lives would be saved are virtually certain.
