Man, I guess some people "just don't get it" and likely never will....
This tragedy was Completely 100% avoidable!

When are people going to realize that the 'deadly toys' that they
choose to play with, like that of a fully automatic weapon is for
killing 'people' and not used for sport. Definitely something that
should NEVER be introduced to a kid. There's a reason these things
are Grandfathered for Christ Sakes !

Kids and guns don't MIX no matter what their age is.... Introducing a
Child to a gun and certainly a fully automatic ANYTHING is 'just
wrong' and any parent who let's them do it is a F---ING IDIOT ! I
doubt very much anyone would want to be in this parents shoes....
This guy has to live with his sons blood on his hands for the rest of
his life and so should he.....



I disagree, on the age to introduce gun usage. I learned to shoot when I was
around 8 years old. I had a pellet gun for the first summer, then graduated
next year to anything my pop had in the gun cabinet. By the time I was 10
years old I was shooting my dad's .270 and a 12 gauge shotgun, plus the .22.
I even got to shoot my dad's 1911 Colt by that time. We were taught about
guns and safety, and the dangers. We also had many acres of woods to go
tromping around in, to practice.
Educate the child well, and let him see the results of firing a gun.
