Apparently, in many backwards states (read: the South), it is perfectly acceptable to kill as many children as you wish provided you do it with a firearm.
To illustrate, it's virtually impossible for a day to go by without reading about yet another case where a child is killed by using an unattended firearm or having a friend or family member accidentally shoot them. In just about every case, the adult gunloon isn't charged or in any way punished.
OTOH, if by any other form of neglect, a child dies--the adult can expect to be punished to the full extent of the law.
