I had unlocked weapons and open access to ammo when I was 9... the gun has nothing to do with this.
The kid needs to be tried as an adult. It was pre-meditated, and he showed no emotion after the incident. In my opinion the current evidence points to severe psychological problems, including psychosis. If he's not tried as an adult, permanent mental institution.
