    Will this be blamed on gaming somehow?

    It hasn't been stated what they were playing, but would you feel the same way if they were playing something like Minecraft? Would you be implying that Minecraft drove this kid to gun violence?

    Probably already done. Any other argument would have been solved without reaching for the neglegted, loaded gun on the table.

    The actual game is irrelevant. They were playing VIDEO GAME, a literal spawn of Satan made to turn kids into killers.

    Did he at least 360 no-scope?

    But in all seriousness, this is tragic and can only happen in the US or in some third world sheit hole.

    Absolutely irresponsible parents, not providing a second loaded gun for the girl to defend herself with.

    The people that are crazy about gun rights will probably try to skew it like that, to deflect from the gun issue.
    But like with cars, we have x deaths due to having cars in society and that is the price we are willing to pay for the privilege.
    Same with guns, things like this will happen because people have guns and people are imperfect.

    But again, what they were fighting over isnt really relevant, kids will fight over anything, they´ll even get pissed when someone else has something they dont even like, just on the basis that they dont have it.
    And they dont have the ability to fully comprehend the consequences of their actions, so they end up going to far all the time like hitting eachother too hard, pushing someone in a dangerous way etc, that´s how they learn and calibrate themselves.
    But thats why you dont have deadly weapons strewn about the place with kids involved.

    If the controller had a gun none of this would have happened. The only thing that stops a 9 year old with a gun is an inanimate object with a gun.

    Clearly this is the fault of video games, and not the gun left near children.

    Clearly. We all do know that guns don't kill people!

    How many people kill each other because of love ... LOVE should be banned! If you love someone you should be thrown into a prison for LIFE!

    If the girl was shot making a sandwich that the boy wanted, no headline would start "Sandwich Death .....".

    Misleading title is misleading.
