    Default 8 year old shoots 7 year old.

    http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyhete...767580,00.html
    in Swedish.


    So, a 8 year old kid packs a gun in his backpack, and then shoots a 7 year old in the arm at school!
    Turns out the 8 year old brought it with him to Play with it and accidently shoot one of.

    A mother said something like; "Theese things happens, thank god the little girl is ok!".

    What a stupid attitude... she makes it sound like its nothing major, sh't happens, lets get over it.

    I guess better controll over arms is needed.

    ..or we should just take away the kids and guns from the people who are obviously unfit to handle either, let alone both.

    Don't be silly. Gun control is just fancy talk for fascism and tyranny.

    Guns don't kill people; 8 year-olds kill people.

    That kid should be tried as an adult and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Have you guys got the death penalty in Sweden?

    I hope so.

    The parents should be held responsible. A.) For not Keeping the Gun in a Secure Place, and B.) Because they probably never told the kid about gun safety, Gun Laws, and The Punishment for breaking Sed Laws. Then it probably would have never happened.

    Don't forget the parents and siblings have a responsibility too. Execute the whole family, I say. And the neighbours for good measure.

    Shhhh.... Nobody wants to hear that- you can't hold the parents accountable for their negligence! If it wasn't for the evil guns, this could've never happened in the first place afterall.

    Update, in English.

    I especially love this part:
    Police charged the boy's father, John L. Hall, 56, with leaving a firearm in a location accessible by an unsupervised minor, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
    So, the father was a felon in possession of a firearm. If the existing laws were enforced properly, yada yada yada. With any luck this will kick in a 3-strikes sentence for the father.

    A little more disturbing:
    The boy was taken into custody, and police said they were drawing up charges against him.
    Montgomery County is pretty well-to-do (this is a DC suburb). This ought to be good for the local news.

    Well...Technically yes. But there's no need for that, what one needs is better control in such places as the school, places where culture is promoted or where arts or other social activities happen. Besides those places usually are autocratic so they don't have to allow guns is they don't want to. The problem is usually domestic, but not always the blame is on the parents or the tutor, there's times when nobody can be blamed.
    The boy was taken into custody, and police said they were drawing up charges against him.
    THIS is morally repugnant. And I think it's illegitime too right?

    The boy also was charged, but authorities said that was done only so he could be helped by juvenile authorities.
    That would be to trigger off the case that his parents have mislead him and made him a juvenile criminal... hence the state can step in and either monitor more closely or remove him from his 'home'.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    What I find interesting is that the father apparently kept the gun loaded, because I don't believe that an 8-year old would go and load it on his own...

    and 8 year old shoots a seven year old?

    And I think to myself, what a wonderful world...
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
