8 Yr Old Shoots & Kills 7 Yr Old Brother In TN With Gun From Mom's Purse

Remember....it was a an accident, that nobody could have predicted.

You would expect the 8 year old will live with this trauma the rest of their life.

But at least the mom still has the gun to keep her and her family safe. That's what's important.

"How many of these tragedies every single week? All you care about is building a wall and the war on Christmas"

OK, the remaining kid needs to be taken from his parents they are apparently incapable of keeping their children safe. And the parents should be fixed so they can't have anymore - both of them permanently unreversible.

We think that everyone respects us and looks up to us as this great, safe country.

In reality they look and see that we are out of our mind crazy with our love of guns.

...it is NOT a "tragic accident." It is negligence. Period. End of discussion.

People need to stop calling these "accidents," and the owners of the guns need to start facing real criminal charges for this kind of negligence.

Of cars. This never would have happened if cars had been outlawed.

Something to consider. Not to mention cars are not guaranteed by the Constitution.
