So much for responsible gun owners, in cases like this.

Free tip for you, if a gun was laying around and a 9 year old was able to grab it and use it, the gun was not secured very well and that pretty much identifies the parents as not responsible gun owners.
I am 45, I have had at least 1 gun since I was 8, none of my guns have ever shot a person.

Agreed. I think we are kind of on the same page. It is parenting.
The parents in this case were negligent. So we are left wondering, how does it become such a thing where parents of multiple kids, leave an unsecured weapon within reach.
I don't think this 9 year old really understood the results of his actions. No one obviously taught him the dangers of firearms, when used against another person.
Some rights should bare certain responsibilities. safety being the first and foremost. In this situation, that wasn't the case.
I know people in monroe. guns are bought and sold all the time. and I don't know anyone there with any real training. Be it in use, or in security, just what is taught at the local gun shooting area.

A better question is how was someone so dumb,to leave a gun laying around,for a child to pick up and use?
The child should have NEVER had access to a gun.
Hundreds of millions of people play video games. If they teach people that killing has no consequences, why don’t we have hundreds of millions of murderers?

The computer games teach children that when they get shot nothing happens - you get to play again.
It is known that watching others influences your actions.
If the stf people will be killing others rather than helping others.
