If this were your child that got shot I would hope your opinion would be different.

Hate to tell ya, but I don't own any guns. So don't assume that everyone who looks objectively at a situation and disagrees with your opinion is some kind of gun-loving nuthead. What good would come of tighter gun laws in this situation? The child's life certainly wouldn't have been saved; the farmer already owned the weapon.
And how tight would the law have to be to prevent this kind of tragedy? Did the man demonstrate some kind of mental illness or a criminal record? Was there indications of something that should have prevented him from owning a firearm? Most likely there was no reason that he shouldn't own that shotgun, so tighter gun laws would do nothing in this case.
What offends me is your need to turn a tragedy into some kind of moral justification for a political cause. Is that all this child means to you? Justification?
