One or more parents in denial that there's anything wrong with their kids and/or the idea they need to take gun storage seriously? That's the first thing that comes to mind, and it's not uncommon in the US. Especially when you consider that a lot of gun rhetoric revolves around self defense in an emergency/home invasion, not having at least one gun readily available defeats the main purpose in their minds.

As a European I am astonished, that the article never mentions, or even questions, why this child had access to a loaded firearm.
The chatbot might be a horrible mess and shouldn't be accessible by children, but a gun should be even less accessible to a child.
Ideally, I agree wholeheartedly. American gun culture multiplies the damage of every other issue we have by a lot
Hence why I consider articles like this part of the "AI" hysteria. They completely gloss over this fact, only mention it once at the beginning, with no further details where the gun came from and rather shove the blame to the LLM.
