5-year-old Kentucky boy fatally shoots 2-year-old sister

Here, nearly every family with a 2 yr old owns a gun, and still it happens many more kids here are hurt by falls. First time in recent memory that it was a gun that hurt a kid. Personally I don’t own a high chair. I have 8 kids and have never used a high chair. My parents never used one either. We sat on mom or dads lap until we could sit in our own chair. It has nothing to do with safety just that it seems so unnecessary to spend that much money on something I can do without. Plus it’s one less thing to move every few years. And I dont know how the law works in other states, but in KY a judge cannot just take guns away. The US Constitution doesn’t allow that, and the KY state constitution doesn’t either.

Are the two year olds in the families around you allowed to play with the guns as if it were a toy while mom runs outside to feed the dogs/get the mail/etc? Probably not…I am sure those parents are much more responsible than that.

This child who fatally shot his little sister was playing with the gun** as if it were a TOY**. A Five year old should NOT be left alone with a gun EVER.

Guns aren’t designed to specifically kill only people. They are also used for hunting. To kill animals for food.

They are designed to kill. It is not limited to killing humans, but they are designed to kill.
