12 year old girl shot dead by 9 year old brother over video game controller

Is it *too soon to poke fun at the NRA who are undoubtedly going to say that this wouldn't have happened if the girl had been armed too?

*I'm not a heartless monster, I just doubt anyone in the household is a member of JUB and if they are they're probably not online right now so, no harm no foul?

From the report, it appeared as if she was playing first and the brother wanted to play. When she wouldn't give up the controller, he went to get the gun. That means that he knew where the gun was and that it was readily accessible to him. And now he's going to have to look at an empty chair at the dinner table and know that he's the reason that it's empty.

Ladies and gentlemen another responsible gun-owner ](*,)
 
^ Apparently, if the weapons are securely locked away, the owner can't bear them. Still, it makes it much easier for children to shoot their siblings (and/or parents/friends/neighbours/schoolmates/UPS drivers/strangers passing by/barking dogs...).
 
Yeah, but he'll never have to give up the video-game controller again. A permanent solution to a temporary problem!

Ugh! Good point. The baggage that that boy is going to have for the rest of his life will be incredible. What a tragedy. Stupid parents.
 
The last line of the article quotes the sheriff as asking for the public's thoughts and prayers for the family. I'm not so certain they want to hear the public's thoughts on a family that leaves a loaded gun accessible to children.

Maybe it's a good time to use "family values" to better describe a family who didn't value their children enough to prevent the preventable.
 
Incredible that any parent would leave a weapon lying around where a child could get hold of it. However, I've ceased to be surprised by gun crime stories coming from the US.
 
Kids are being taught that the answer to every problem is at the end of a gun.
 
Authorities don't yet know how the child had access to the weapon they say he used to shoot his sister. It's also unclear how much knowledge the boy had of the dangers of guns.

I’m going to assume very fucking little considering the gun was left in a place for the kid easily get it. He’s a 9 year, I think the above part doesn’t even need to be stated.

Forgive me, but a 9 year old ought to already know right from wrong.

Perhaps, but they shouldn't have trouble with guns. They know what guns do.

They might know what they do, but not the ramifications of what they do and what that means. Unfortunately this boy is going to have a lot of demons to fight through in his early life through adulthood.

Oh, undoubtedly. And it would be interesting to see how the parents deal with it as well.

What kind of 9 year olds do you know? Most Teenagers still have trouble with right and wrong.

I think you are confusing several levels of severity here.

Permit me to wander off topic slightly to make a point.

Person A: Most people know not to break the law. Most people are not criminals.

Person B: What people do you know? Everybody speeds, thereby breaking the law. Therefore, everybody is a criminal.

See, I'm not disputing the fact that most teen-agers struggle with right from wrong. But not all right/wrong issues are equal. Just like how not all laws are equally enforced. Would you agree that blowing through a stop sign is less of a severe breaking of the law than retail theft? Would you agree that retail theft is less severe of breaking of law than arm robbery?

9 year olds, while still should be developing their sense of morals, ought to know right from wrong with the more severe offenses. Sure, they still struggle with knowing that lying is wrong. But surely, a 9 year old ought to know that there is no recourse from killing his sister?

I have 9 nephews and nieces. I'm their favorite uncle. I used to babysit most of them. I know exactly where they understood the limits were back when they were 9.
