It's so weird that the observation that perhaps this kid shouldn't have had ready access to firearms is met with, "Oh!? So you BLAME the gun!? Suddenly it's the GUN'S FAULT???"
Jesus. People. Name one other device that any old 11 year old can use to literally turn someone else off with the push of a button. YES the kid's clearly got serious problems, YES there are thousands of kids who are perfectly safe (that is to say, well trained) with guns. But THIS kid probably shouldn't have had a gun, and this murder might not even have taken place if he'd had to actually touch his victim. Can you really disagree about that?
I'm not pro- or anti-gun. I think that gives me the room to look at the issue rationally. In THIS CASE, that kid shouldn't have had that gun. In THAT household, I'm very much pro gun control.
