    A 13 year old should understand the value of life and what is right or wrong. Holding a gun does not compel a person to mindlessly murder another. This child’s willingness to murder someone over such a trivial thing speaks volumes to the environment it was raised in and lack of parenting.

      Irresponsible parents are a fact of life. Please stop deflecting from the problem that has a very simple solution to the one that isn’t going away ever. Keep the fucking guns away from children…

      13 yesr olds usually aren’t held criminally responsible for their actions because they don’t understand the value of life or consequences of their actions etc. so maybe they should’nt be given guns to take on the bus or wherever. But Im Australian. Never seen a gun or heard a shooting.
