The NSSF, which I assume is a representative trade industry group, states
Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. This is particularly important when loading or unloading a firearm. In the event of an accidental discharge, no injury can occur as long as the muzzle is pointing in a safe direction.
So, we’ve established intent to wound, or kill a child. Most societies would believe that this is evil. The traditional legal standard for insanity (M’Naghten) states:
that to establish a defense on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly proved that, at the time of the committing of the act, the party accused was labouring under such a defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing; or if he did know it, that he did not know he was doing what was wrong
Individuals who can mount a successful insanity defense are usually statutorily prohibited from possessing firearms.
Evil, or morally naive*, it amounts to the same thing-- she should not be allowed to possess a gun.
*(In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I’m going to go with evil)
