The bad kid with a gun could have been stopped by a good kid with a gun, duh!

I bet it’s one of the parents or a close relative that didn’t properly store their gun.
When are they going to start throwing people in jail for this?
Short of someone outright giving the child the gun, that’s the only option left. If a 9 year old can get to a gun, it’s improperly stored no matter where it is.
That’s true but in these cases has the gun actually ever been properly stored in a locked safe and the kid nicked the key or something?
As a gun owner, that’s still improper storage.
Other than my personal carry which stays on my person (or a quick open safe in my nightstand when I’m sleeping), the rest of mine are locked in a safe unloaded, with their magazines stored in a different smaller safe.
If my kids were able to get to the guns, they pose no damage. They would need to be able to get into both safes and intentionally load them to pose any threat to anything.
Thanks for the insight.
If that’s the case probably not charge. I’m sure that’s happened at some point. But kids are playing with guns that are just left out in a lot of these cases and for those, yeah, maybe someone should face charges.
Yep mistakes happen of course but most if not all of the time it’s just neglect.
Just another Tuesday in America.
Now the children are shooting each other, just as our fore fathers intended.

In Philly in July, a 14 yr old with intellectual disabilities accidentally shot her 2 year old cousin with an unsecured gun.
“Yeah, dude, I gotta own a gun to protect myself in case aliens attack! Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen, it won’t be normalized in our society or something!”
WILD guess, but I am going to say this happened in the US!?
Being six years old doesn’t mean that he’s not allowed to defend himself, I see no problem here.
OP, keep your editorializing out of it.
“how the children obtained guns”? The article gives no indication that there were multiple guns. Your editorializing makes it sound like they were playing with guns and shooting at each other.
The story is bad enough as it is without you lying about it.
It’s literally the sub-title on the linked article.
Still wrong
Literally follows the rules of the community. It’s as right as can be. point your complaints to npcnews.
Can do.

You should probably at least click on the article before you start accusing OP of editorializing just because you don’t like what it says.
I actually read the article.
If that’s true and you expect us to believe that, then you don’t know what “editorializing” means.
That’s good. I stand corrected.
But if you read it in the article, why were you trying to tell OP off then? This isn’t OC.
Edit @Drusas it’s petty of you to downvote me when you can see I’m not downvoting you.

Tell me you didn’t read the article, without telling me you didn’t read the article…

Is this an example of someone being confidently incorrect?
We still don’t know if that 6 year old had the legal authority or authorizing paperwork to have that nickname.
Don’t break the law and you won’t face consequences.
/s for those of you who don’t get sarcasm.
