Every legitimate gun owners’ group supports keeping weapons secured from children.

The Trooper did not do so in this case. You are trying to make a legal case. That's fine, make those arguments in court, but do not make a PUBLIC argument that the Trooper did no wrong when his 12 years old pointed his unsecured pistol at a 5 year-old and pulled the trigger!

We will lose that battle in the court of public opinion every time!

This is from GOA. They do not seem to be saying that everyone under 18 should be prevented from having access to firearms:

What do you mean by “secured from children”? Do you mean that no one under 18 should have access to a firearm except in the presence of an adult?
