Where Does An 8 Year Old Get A Gun?

8 year old child kills father and another man as reported by CNN - An 8-year-old boy appeared in court Monday afternoon in St. Johns, Arizona, on charges that he murdered his father and another man.

I have an eight year old and I just couldn’t imagine being in this situation, but it does make you think.

It is too early at the time of writing this to understand what the exact motives were for the child to have pulled the trigger, and I guest more will be revealed as time goes on.

Apparently there hasn’t been any evidence of abuse and there are no reports of any abuse at this stage. I say at this stage because who knows what the evidence will uncover at a later date.

But, I have to ask, where does an eight year get his hands on a 22-caliber weapon? Moreover, how does he know what to do with it. They have safety clips etc.

Someone would have had to show him how to use it, surely.

What’s your thoughts on the matter.
