Yes, and that's the real problem.  No doubt about it.

Not really an accidental discharge.  Seems like the sister was a dumb ass and struggle t get the gun out and shot her brother.

The gun shouldnt have been available to the kid and the parents should have taught the kid the proper respect for guns.

it sucks that this kid is among the .003% of ppl that are killed in the US by guns as a result of stupid parents

I wonder how many kids die every year as a result of other stupid decisions like drunk driving?

Would you have fought with a sibling over a loaded gun at that age, blacken?

well that settles it ,it's the sisters fault not the moron parents for leaving a loaded gun where a nine year old could get access to it  

[Hugo Chavez]

what would happen if there was a mass movement to start posting the deaths of kids caused by auto accidents?  yea... not happening....  We won't talk about the number of kids killed by assclowns driving....  It way outnumbers those killed by guns.

great then i guess that makes it ok to leave a loaded gun for a 9 year old to play with,you know,because kids die in auto accidents 

[Soul Crusher]

Are yu going to report every time a kid dies in a back yard pool accident?

[dario73]

Are yu going to report every time a kid dies in a back yard pool accident?

I doubt he will do that. Maybe one should be opened or at least on how many die from drunken drivers.

[Jack T. Cross]

Yes, it is the parents' fault.  We've already agreed on this.  They should have known better, and they have to live with it.

The issue most ppl have with you're stance blacken is you use the death children as a way of pushing your political agenda.

If you and the ppl pushing for gun control really wanted to save the lives of children instead of just exploit their tragic deaths to push a political agenda. Then you would focus on areas where children have a higher death rate instead of an area where all if the US including adults have a .003% chance of dying.

Your political theatre isn't impressing anyone

how often do small children get in their parents car and accidentally kill themself ?

that's the only scenario that is comparable to a child getting their parents gun and killing themself

if you want to just compare child auto deaths to any child gun death that's a completely different comparison

I'd like to see the numbers, I bet it's closer than most would think. What I mean is, that the number of children accidentally shot by their parents guns is probably not that great. Unneeded tradgedy, but still no reason to ban guns.

I'll bet it significantly higher than children who take their parents car and kill themselves or someone else

so who's the goodguywithguns the sister or the parents

This is the dumbest political board thread of 2013... lol
