Maybe if the 9-month old had a gun, he/she could have protected him/herself against the 5 year old! Open carry!!
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/20/us/missouri-boy-shoots-baby-brother/
The mother called 911 to say her 5-year-old boy shot his baby brother with a paintball gun.
But it wasn't a paintball gun. It was a .22-caliber Magnum revolver. And the 9-month-old boy didn't survive.
Authorities are trying to figure out what led to Monday's shooting in Elmo, in the northwest corner of Missouri.
"At this point foul play is not suspected, and it appears at this time that the shooting was accidental," the Nodaway County Sheriff's Office said.
Sheriff Darren White told CNN affiliate KCTV that the baby was in a playpen when his brother found the gun lying around a bed.
When emergency crews arrived, they found the infant had been shot in the head. The child was flown to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, where he was pronounced dead, the station reported.
Authorities say the gun belongs to a relative, but not the mother. Police are investigating the gun's ownership, KCTV reported.
The mother's other three children are with relatives, according to the station.
The sheriff said guns are rampant in the rural community.
"We are big supporters of firearms around here," White told CNN affiliate KETV. "We have a lot of people that own weapons. They hunt. They target shoot. ... Most people are very safe with them, and this is one of those cases where everything went together in the wrong way."
He added, "We got some guys that work here that have little kids of their own. ... This kind of hits home with them, too. They take it personally."
Though they say the shooting was accidental, authorities have not determined whether charges will be filed against any adult in the case.
At least one nearby resident told KCTV she believes the shooting could have been easily prevented.
"You know, just some gun safety could have come into play, and would have maybe, you know prevented the situation, but it's just really sad, altogether," neighbor Jessica Hutchison said.
According to Project ChildSafe, gun owners should lock unloaded weapons in a safe, vault or cabinet inaccessible to children. Gun locks should be used in addition to safe storage, and ammunition should be locked away separately from any firearm.
Parents should also teach their children that if they find a gun in a house, they should leave it where it is and tell an adult, even if the weapon resembles a toy, the advocacy group says.
Monday's incident is the latest in a series of high-profile shootings involving children. Among them, a 4-year-old girl killed her cousin, also 4, in Detroit while playing with a gun found under a bed last January, a 9-year-old accidentally killed a shooting instructor in August while firing a submachine gun at an Arizona range and last month a 2-year-old fatally shot his mother in an Idaho Walmart after finding a gun in her purse.

Do you think it should be a law that requires all guns be kept in a locked vault if there are minors living in the home? Maybe this is a law already. I don't know.
Kids will be curious and will search for things. And look what happens. I don't know if he just found it or was looking for it.

It should be commonsense.

Seems like it's a white family incident, being a Getbigger I am not interested as I can't play any "Guess the race?" games or bash Hebrews (again), hence as I can't exercise my racist muscles I am out.

BINGO. Any responsible gun owner knows this.

Yes, I am guessing they were white.

Yes, but unfortunately this is under the grand assumption that the human race has common sense. And based on peoples actions, I'd say otherwise. :-\ :-\

You say you can't be racist to white people?
That's racist!

Yes, guns should be out of reach.
BUT from the minute that kid can understand how to ask for a cookie, he should know gun is "no-no". My kid gets a new toy every time he catches ANYTHING gun-related of mine in view. Holster, extra mag, even the fanny pack... if you can see it, daddy is buying you a new lego set.
and when he does, it's a celebration of "cordon off the area, yell for dad, cash in". The thought of touching the gun never enters his mind. since he could remember, it's a boring, loud tool that's for grownups. No desire, no interest, no forbidden fruit.

Ban infant little siblings.

It's sad, but not a big deal. The number of accidental deaths by firearms are around 500 - 750 +/- per year in the United States, that's down from a high of 3000+ in the 1930's. The 1970's -90's averaged in the 1500 - 2000 range, so things are getting better. The rate of death from heavy machine accidents is in the same range, and death rate from home pools average around 400 a year. Just some benchmark numbers for perspective.

Sounds like a boy who doesn't take kindly to disrespect. Not on the playground, not during naptime....not anywhere. It's never too early to stand your ground

White trash people are the worst about this.
But if black fathers where actually around their kids this might happen to.
;D

Ban five year-olds.

LOL! Funny shit, no mercy for anyone here, lol...

Highly doubt it was an accident. 5yr olds are smart. The 5yr old that fired the shot was likely jealous of the attention his baby brother was getting.

Yeah next thing you know they will be charging a fetus with assault for kicking his mother. ::)

Cops will shoot and kill an 8 year old walking around with a super soaker like this. When asked why did they shoot the kid, the cop will reply, "It looked like a real gun."

Well, who doesn't? Guns are Americans' god given right you heathen!

Sad news indeed.
What would be Charles Darwin thoughts on the incident?

I believe the first gun was made by Jesus as he was a blacksmith. he stamped USA on it. The village folks didn't understand why and he proclaimed "a gift for the chosen 1750 years from now"

Extremely sad and unnecessary, but I don't blame America's "love my guns" culture. It was a dumbass parent who should've been more careful. Kid who shot him will be fucked for life.

^^ exactly. Another "law" requiring people to lock up their guns means nothing. Who enforces it? Will cops do random house checks from now on to ensure every gun is locked up...will they check the age of each kid to ensure the specifics of the law are enforced? Will they look for other "signs of law breaking" when they're in the house? See where this leads?
Maybe it was just negligence that the gun was found by the kid...but it could have been any weapon or blunt instrument. It's sad but it's also the consequences of bad judgment for that family and I imagine they're suffering pretty badly. Sometimes tragic shit just happens.
What's not needed are more laws restricting my ownership of guns.

No shit. Had someone left the keys to the car in the ignition in the garage and the kid turned the car on and ran someone over, there'd be nobody screaming "ban cars!".
