^ 4-year-old Bryson Hernandez managed to find his grandfather's gun inside the house in Cypress, a suburb of Houston, on Tuesday night and shot himself in the head.
The incident occurred around midnight and the little boy who family members say loved his sisters and Iron Man most in this world was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition where he later died. RIP.
Investigators are trying to determine how Bryson found the loaded gun. No charges have been filed. Authorities say the death will be referred to a grand jury.

==============================
Bryson's family says that families should lock up their guns, tell their little ones not to touch guns, etc..
Mandatory gun safes, gun locks, prosecution of irresponsible gun owners...we've discussed those measures to minimize toddler gun deaths.
In the future, smart gun technology will really help in achieving that goal, in my opinion, if and when it hits the market. I hope that the government is able to successfully work with gun manufacturers to at least get child safety features implemented soon.
"If a child can't open a bottle of aspirin, we should make sure they can't pull a trigger on a gun." That was one of the statements that President Obama made at the Town Hall Meeting and when announcing the smart gun technology initiative.
Why shouldn't child safety features be standard on firearms? What would be objectionable about that measure which would in no way infringe on anybody's rights to bear (safer) arms?
