Obviously the safest thing would have been if BOTH children had guns. Then the boy who was shot would have been able to deter his friend with the threat of return fire!
Not to make light of tragedy; but this is precisely the “logic” of the 2nd amendment nutters. More guns = safer.
Sad story, but it is entirely predictable that this will continue to happen. Greatest nation on Earth, though! Yeah!
Why don’t parents have their guns lock awayin a safe out of reach from their children. We have a gun in the housein safe it our bedroom closet. Our boys know its there and know that its real and that it can hurt then or someone else.my husband uses it for work. We never had a problem.
