Parents should be charged for having the gun in a place the child can easily reach.

Out of 23 democracies, the US population equals about half of the other 22. Yet 91% of all child gun deaths in those 23 countries come from the United States.

Parents are at fault for not keeping the gun away from a damn 9 year old. Though losing their daughter will be more punishment than the law could ever give. The 9 year old will be fukked up forever now. Horrible story

1 country out of 23 has half the population of the other 22 and you are shocked by this? Really? Maybe you shouldnt post "stats" that dont make a point

Seems to me you are statistically challenged.

Or maybe you just can't read.

That's it. Grab everyone's firearms, cause' Hitler. And we want Hitler ruling over an unarmed populace.

I never said to grab everyone's firearms. I was pointing out that there's an obvious problem in the US with children dying by guns.

CNN seems to be the only source stating that he got the gun from the parents' bathroom, unless the source was somehow updated.

A 13-YEAR-old girl was shot dead by her younger brother in what cops say was a tragic row over a computer game controller.

Dijonae White died in Le Bonheur's Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, on Sunday night after reportedly being shot in the back of the head.



Dijonae was said to have died after being shot in the back of her head




Dijonae's mother Chalandra who was in the house when the tragedy happened


Officers say the boy, 9, grabbed a .25 calibre handgun at about 1pm on Saturday when his bigger sister would not give up the controller as they played

He then allegedly shot Dijonae from behind and the bullet entered her brain causing catastrophic injuries.

A local sheriff said it was unclear how the boy obtained the gun. It is also unclear what consequences the young boy will face.

"He's just nine," said Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell.

if he's nine he won't even be charged.

That's about the only place a 9-year old would get a gun. It's weird because my parents grew up with guns on the living room wall(from the South). But these kids today are neglected and/or drugged up depressed and violent, so you just can't leave guns unlocked at home if kids are around anymore.

If this was on the main misc I'd ask why she was named after mustard.

It wasn't to get you rustled. (srs)

if that was your point then you picked a very strange way of making it. at least that one is still quite arguably valid even with the original fallacy post.

Edit:

No worries. I'm not rustled my dude. just genuinely wanted to know if this was like an anti-gun thread, or just stating something horrible happened, or something else.

It's sad, but it probably wouldn't be news if he'd whacked her in the back of the head with a hammer or put a knife through her throat.

Gotta lock up your handguns if you have kids.

I punched a hole thru a door over a (cheating) video game controller.
Brother once kicked my in the face over a video game controller.
Next door neighbor stabbed his brother in the ear with scissors over a video game controller.

This was back in the early 90's so we're all in our 40's now and don't do stupid chit over video game controllers anymore. Ok occasionally one will still get chucked across the room, but we're not getting hurt about it anymore.

Well in that case it's justified. Wrap it up boys.

Explain how you're a a libertarian that is for gun control?

Charges can be brought in cases like this.
