No there isn't.
You have defended and supported a paedophile who threatened to perform penetrative anal sex on my 16 month old.
If such a thing existed you would challenge his post, instead you chose to pal around with him and accuse me of being a paedophile.
Nice to see how the liberals are not expected to abide by the rules.

Childhood gun and shooting accidents are not rare.

They are one of the top ten leading causes of accidental death for all age groups outside of newborns and infants.

In 2007, there were 122 unintentional firearm deaths in children, and an additional 3,060 nonfatal gun and shooting accidents, which resulted in an estimated 1,375 children needing to be hospitalized for their injuries. Unintentional firearm deaths in children have remained at about the same levels since, with 114 deaths in children and teens less than age 18 in 2010.

Gun Safety

Again, to help prevent these types of gun and shooting accidents, learning about gun safety is important.

Unfortunately, many parents don't store their guns safely, even when they have young kids in the home. In fact, one study showed that 85% of parents who owned guns did not practice safe gun storage.

Some more recent gun and shooting accidents involving children include:

a 2-year-old in Cooper County, Missouri, died after shooting himself in the head with a handgun that "he got a hold of" in his house.

But you fail to acknowledge that when compared to the number of children that are in homes where guns are present, these are a small and regretable percentage; so what kind of laws are going to stop irresponsible parents, from being irresposible parents?

But this has little to do with your attempt at trying to equate a "stranger" as a child, in your scenario.

Bfgrn: "There was NOTHING physically indicating it was not a real handgun...no bright colored barrel tip etc."

well...it WAS a pellet gun and not a toy per se... and, I think they called the cops before they knew one way or the other. They were scared, and gun nuts here are laughing at parents being frightened of a man pulling out a gun and starting shooting in a public park...

Then they must have thought that the "gun" was equipped with a silencer; because if it was a pellet gun, as opposed to a soft air pistol, then the lack of the BANG should have tipped them off.
