    Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Sometimes those people are children. But it’s still not the guns fault, obviously. The same thing would have happened if the nine year old child, who had no ill intentions, had a knife instead. Everyone knows it’s just as easy to accidentally stab someone to death as it is to pull a trigger. Happens every day in the EU, I assure you. So many accidentially fatal stabbings by children over the years.

    /s in case it wasn’t obvious.

    I bet it’s one of the parents or a close relative that didn’t properly store their gun.

    When are they going to start throwing people in jail for this?

      Just another murderer armed by just another legal gun owner. It’s only noteworthy here because of the extremely young age of the murderer, not because “responsible gun owners” seldom arm people who shouldn’t have guns.

    This could have been prevented if the 6 year old was armed!

    We still don’t know if that 6 year old had the legal authority or authorizing paperwork to have that nickname.

    Don’t break the law and you won’t face consequences.

    /s for those of you who don’t get sarcasm.

    “Yeah, dude, I gotta own a gun to protect myself in case aliens attack! Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen, it won’t be normalized in our society or something!”

    More than 26,000 people have died from gunshot wounds this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

    I used to accept that I’d likely get cancer if I lived long enough…

    OP, keep your editorializing out of it.

    “how the children obtained guns”? The article gives no indication that there were multiple guns. Your editorializing makes it sound like they were playing with guns and shooting at each other.

    The story is bad enough as it is without you lying about it.
