    I can't believe guns are STILL available in America. The amount of gun killings that happen over there is completely outragous.

    Did you hear about the 8 y/o boy who accidently shot himself at a gun convention

    That country and there guns is unbelievable

    If these ppl weren't armed in the 1st place...the police wouldn't have fired at all.

    Hmm I was more worried about the 8 year old that shot himself in the head.

    We had a thread quite a while ago about guns and children and surprisingly many thought it was okay as long as parental supervision and safety came first.

    BOTH things were present with the 8 y/o but he still managed to do it. They were at a proper testing range (convention..) and his parents were there.

    SO sad.

    Reinforces the feeling I have that children and guns don't mix.

    Heck, ADULTS and guns don't even mix.

    Nope but they are also criminals that have no respect for laws anyway...so gun laws wouldn't prevent this.
