No guns should be allowed around children they think their toys and they will play with them. This is very sad . Guns are for people who won’t use them on others. Everyone needs to be checked for mental health problems before owning one
Feel awful for the 8 yr old..

Ban BB guns periodt
Ban eight year olds!
ANOTHER VICTORY FOR AMMOSEXUALS AND THE WELL REGULATED MILITIA!!! Gun nuts LOVE this kind of stuff. it's more important to them than ANY sort of regulation on firearms...

What are the chances
Will the kid be tried as an adult? It's America hey!
SO WHAT NOW? I MEAN SORRY IS NOT ENOUGH. SOMEONE HAS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
So what's the 8-year-old guilty of ?
BAN ALL ASSAULT BB GUNS. WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDRENYOU KNOW THE ONES NOT BEING SEX TRAFFICKED BY HEDGE FUND MANAGERS AND OWNERS OF CORPORATIONS. WHO WILL PROTECT THESE KIDS FROM THE TERRORIST 8 YEAR OLDS!
