6 year shot himself [He's alive]

[DiceyGrammar]

I was looking at the point of view of not having a child.

yeah, plenty of people like that too who leave guns on tables because they dont have kids

then someone else comes over with their kids and we've got another messy situation on our hands.

Because I totally can't pick up a gun and move it if someone comes over right?

you would totally be one of those people who makes the news for forgetting

you are after all, a living stereotype

[Alyx Vance]

Now you're just saying stuff, I'm sure I'd remember to move a gun if someone came over.

There's like, a million things in a household that you don't want your kids to touch. Knives, car keys, (guns), glass objects, etc. They can hurt themselves with all of them. This was a 6 year old kid, not a 6 month old kid. We're not talking about a toddler, this guy knew he was holding a gun and knew that if he depressed the trigger that it would fire. It's entirely possible that the gun was locked up and the kid found the keys, unlocked the safe, took out the gun not realizing it was loaded, and shot himself.

Why would you ever try to fire a gun pointing at yourself, no matter whether it's loaded or not?

I didn't say he was an adult with a full logical thought process, I just said that this wasn't some babbling toddler that found a gun in his toy bin. The kid probably was playing with the gun, inspecting it and looking at it from all different angles and accidentally fired it.

My point was that the parents didn't necessarily do anything wrong, besides not teaching the kid to point a gun at himself. But who knows, the kid already probably disobeyed them by touching the gun so maybe he did know not to point a gun at himself and did it anyway.

[BluetoothBoy]

Because even though they know it's a gun that shoots things, they most likely don't know exactly what one does if you point it at yourself and pull the trigger. For all we know, the kid could've been thinking it wouldn't hurt any more than a Nerf gun.

[Muzzles56]

video games did it!!!!!

[SlayerZ99]

They should not have ammo in the gun

[slimabob]

video games did it!!!!!

QUICK, BAN GTA 5!!!

[Zeblote]

QUICK, BAN GTA 5!!!

but 6 year olds aren't allowed to play gta 5, so since he never played it it can't influence him

[Nevermind]

So what should we do.
Make it so that only college graduates are allowed to have guns?
