No sorrow at all. She was a fool.
However, she is beyond the reach of any laws or retribution or punishment.
Focusing on her is, IMO, a fool's game. You are not, generally, a fool. I disagree with you often, but do not consider you a fool.

Maybe this lady just didn't contemplate how dangerous her guns were. Living in a safe area, maybe she only saw the sport aspect and not the kill aspect. Maybe she presumed her son saw them the same way. "Who would ever use my guns to kill anybody?"

True, but wouldn't there be value in analyzing this womans actions, and on those of them that served to make this atrocity easier to commit, and seeking to see how other suburban folk who use the weapons for sporting purposes might alter their own behavior to make repeat disasters less possible?

I think Raymr is exactly correct-

Im thinking she was a woman who loved her son, was a decent law abiding person, and the thought would have never crossed her mind that such a thing could have happened. Now she is being harshly judged on a few actions, her storage of the weapons and training of her son, which is unfair taken from the rest of her life, but we have to be unfair when so many other people can be hurt from a few little seemingly harmless decisions at the time

this lady is being villianized by some because she made the statement to a friend she did not like leaving the son alone. The leap was made that she was afraid he would hurt someone. There are many reasons she may have had for not leaving him alone.

Agreed! It is quite common for people to take the words of others in different ways. Now, even a mindreader couldn't tell you what she actually meant by that.
