      Oh come on when I was 8 I knew what a gun was and the aftermath and heaviness of doing such a thing, kids aren’t that clueless.

            Sure, but if I started posting news articles matching “an American child under twelve years old killed or injured someone with a gun” and you started posting “a child from outside America killed or injured someone with a gun”, who do you think would run out of articles first?

      I’d give a foolish 8yo ONE shot and write it off as acting without any forethought. He shot again though. If a loud gunshot and splattered brains doesn’t snap you out of it then you are literally messed up in the head.
