The article if you don't read it basically says. Cops found a gun buried in a playground, it took them two days to find with a metal detector. The gun had been there since some time in 2004. So it has been buried in the ground for 3 years in Canada freezing winters and warm summers.
My issue is that "outraged parents" are saying some kid could of found the gun and shot himself/someone else. I say bullshit, not only would the gun not of been found unless there was some construction there, but also I would think that the gun wouldn't fire or would take someone much stronger then a five year to pull the trigger. It was a 9mm Beretta. Any thought from gun owners?

well, after three years it is unlikely that the gun would fire, but keep in mind that at one point in time, that gun was just buried there, which makes two things possible:
1--the gun had not been sitting very long at all in that ground, making it more likely that the gun was useable.
2--there was a fresh hole there at one point, which could have aroused the curiosity of some children.
When the gun was first placed there, it could have posed a bigger problem.
