11-year-old Tennessee boy shoots 8-year-old girl over argument about puppy

[New England]

a tragedy shouldn't change ones views on an issue.

an issue is to be thought out, whichever side it may be.

it's not an emotional thing.

keep digging, dude. i really don't even have to talk. only a F#cking american gun nut is this stupid. you [american gun nuts] a uniquely stupid quantity in the world.

the end of an era is coming. can't wait.

this boy was probably taught by his parents how to shoot a gun. it makes it incredibly easy to kill somebody if you have access to guns and know how to use them.


i understand now from the repetition of your arguments that you just don't understand the argument being made in the two sentences i just posted.


some guy [da machine] even posted that people would "just build bombs,' as if he really didn't understand the difference.

a lot of kids are taught how to shoot guns.

a lot of kids have parents who have guns.

but not every one of those kids shoot an 8 yr old at 11 do they?

this kid is not right in the head, it's simple as that.

the issue is why did he kill her not what he used to do it.

they kill at a disproportionate rate when these two things are the case.


academic and intellectual doe.

state your source for that. i'd like to see it.

there is no link to homicidal behavior and firearms ownership.

data that shows gun violence by country is a great way to start. it's very easy to find. here's not a list specifically of gun violence, but of murder rates. in the US, these murders are being carried out primarily by the handgun [according to the FBI's data which is cited in one of the wiki lnks i'm going to provide.]

americans are disprorortionately exposing their children to guns when compared to a population in civlized countries in the rest of the world, yes? on this we agree?


look for statistics then that detail the murders per 100K, and you'll see the huge variation between the rates in the US [among children, adults, whoever,] when compared to control populations in the rest of the developed world, other specific countries, etc. i've posted the link, which contains data from an indepenent, spanish speaking research firm. nonpartisan, not involved with the US government.


the only countries and cities with these top 50 murder rates other than those in the united states are in the developing world. venezuela, brazil, columbia, mexico, honduras, etc. these are countries with significantly higher rates of poverty, lacking education and infrastructure, , factors that do not affect US gun violence.

where is your data that supports the idea that 12 year olds with access to guns kill at the same rate as those who do not?

[-jose-]

tua, i hope nobody shoots your 8 year old.

now that's not a very nice thing to say

there is none. that's why i asked you for your source.

i knew you didn't have one.

Left Hook Tua , how on earth is there "no link between homicidal behavior and gun ownership" when most of the murders in the country are carried out using guns?

do you guys, like, think when you type stuff?


i think you just wanted to pretend you didn't get your education in prison, and use the word "behavior."
