yep good ol USA at it again
An 11-year-old boy in the US state of Tennessee has been held on suspicion of shooting dead an eight-year-old girl in a row over a puppy. The boy has been charged with first-degree murder as a juvenile. According to police, he shot neighbour McKayla Dyer on Saturday evening after she refused to let him see her puppy. In another fatal child shooting case, authorities said on Monday that an 11-year-old boy fatally shot his brother while target shooting in Ohio. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-34450841 |

Seriously - I would charge the idiotic fecking parents with 'Facilating Murder', 'Accessory To Murder' or some other offence.

Do you know the hoops we have to go through in the UK to own a shotgun?
There one is lying around a bloody caravan with kids playing outside? what kind of 3rd world country? |

That's horrifying. How many more of these incidents need to happen before the US sort their gun laws out? Course it'll never happen because of the money involved. Sad world we live in

Nearly 1,500 children younger than 18 years of age die from shootings every year.
More American homes have guns than dogs. 1 in 3 families with children have at least one gun in the house. There are more than 22 million children living in homes with guns. Most of the victims of unintentional shootings are boys. They are usually shot by a friend or relative, especially a brother. Half of all unintentional shooting deaths among children occur at home, and almost half occur in the home of a friend or relative. http://www.nationwidechildrens.org/cirp-gun-safety

Gun laws are changing in America at the moment and this is probably one of the reasons we are starting to see stories like this one.

When I worked in the States, I was horrified at first when I got in a car and there was a gun on the dash board (where I was it was illegal to carry a concealed weapon in a vehicle but legal if in view) but after a while even I got a little desensitised to the amount of people who have and carry guns. It is their way of life and allowed in law.
However, I could never imagine having a loaded gun anywhere near children. Too many wasted lives. Such a sad story, RIP to the little girl.

..I read that he may be charged as an adult for first degree murder...I don't get the 'self defence' bit in owning a gun for intruders either because if a child can access it, then so could an intruder and use it to harm those living there...

What a really brilliant point Ammi - Yes, if the gun was so easily accessible for a child, then intruders COULD have accessed it also, and 'intent' is the only difference in a gun being 'defensive' or 'offensive'.

How many more innocent people will die before the gun laws are changed? It's getting ridiculous. That boy should go down for life and so should his parents just for being twats

I agree with you that the parents should get into a lot of trouble though.

Yes but you probably wouldn't have had access to a gun to even think about it anyway Mock. 11 is still a child and kids see people shooting other people on TV and it doesn't seem very real I'd imagine. It seems so easy and I don't know if at that age alot of 11 year olds would really be thinking if I do this I'm actually killing this girl and her life is over, if you know what I mean? Like I mean alot of 11 year olds would have hit another kid for not getting their way or because the other kid annoyed them, it could have been a similar thing in his mind

Yes Valid Point he was so angry he could not see her new puppy next door. I would think up until he fired the shotgun he would be in a tantrum type rage. Then after it comes back to real life |
