More often we don't enforce our own laws because people don't know that theyre our own laws and their ghoulish reps have manipulated them into pulling a lifetime lever on the notion that.if we enforce our laws, we'll suddenly become the soviets or somesuch shit.
-and still...you've got that one story. Care to guess how many guns sit in cars than don't end up killing kids?
Fucking miracle of possession and culture. People elsewhere are chomping at the bit to off their neighbors, the fact that they can't get a gun is the only thing standing between them and that outcome. Here, you can buy one at walmart with a smile, and still our neighbors remain alive, and kicking, and irritating the shit out of us. We've idolized frontier culture, this shouldn't come as any surprise. Everyone had a gun, and our kids survived all the same.
Laws that are not enforced are effectively the same as no laws
I have no doubt that there are hundreds of thousands of guns in cars that AREN'T used for killing kids. So what? It isn't about the numbers, it's about (as you rightly said) the culture.
There are two kids dead in California right now because (in all likelihood) because a firearm wasn't properly secured. Care to speculate on what charges the gun owner will face?

Welp, since this isn't going to be an According to Hoyle mass murder, here's the proper America: The Drinking Game solution:

Because making a tragedy into an event for a drinking game is still more than the government will ever do in response to any of this horseshit.

Seeing as how it happened in Liberal NotAmericastan, where they're pretty tough on guns and have strong CAP laws, there will be charges. Whether they stick, who knows.

When I couldn't face buying another gun safe I sent my guns away. Never needed them for "self-defense".

Careless move, mate. Without a house full of guns, how ever will you defend your household against the ravening hordes of neo-fascist ultraliberal environmentalist zombies?

2 deaths = double homicide (weapon understood - not mentioned unless other than gun)
3 deaths = triple homicide (weapon understood - not mentioned unless other than gun)
4 - 6 deaths = Gun violence with 4-6 deaths
7 deaths = mass shooting with seven confirmed dead
> 7 deaths = *another mass shooting
*the word “another” implies that this is big enough to make the list of famous incidents

To be fair, the official definition of mass murder is that four or more people die in one incident (and the killer stays in one location, otherwise, it's a spree shooting)
