[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 217334, member: 1024"] I was a bit taken back by his statement about him getting "his gun." Then while looking through the photos, one of the photo captions stated that the father had consulted the priest about giving his son his own gun. WHAT???? Why does an 8 year old have his own gun? Holy cow...that freaked me out. So, even if he had his own gun for hunting purposes and so on, why in the world does the child have total access to it???? I grew up with guns in my home. I understand the NRA and all that...but doesn't the NRA promote gun safety and keeping guns locked up and out of the hands of children? I'm still reeling from that one. I have an 8 year old child. Every time I hear this story, I feel a sick, vomitus feeling in the pit of my stomach. The child clearly planned this out, but how can they, in good consciousness, charge this kid with 1st degree murder? He's a child. I just can't wrap my brain around this. [/QUOTE]
