Yes..

1) How does someone "accidentally" play with something?  Sounds like either 
irresponsibilty by the parents for not keeping the gun unloaded and out of 
reach, or not educating the child in gun safety.  It could also have been the 
fault of the child for having been educated to not play with the gun, and 
doing it anyway.

2) If kids were disciplined for bringing guns to school, these incidents would 
be much less common.
