BAD IDEA OF THE WEEK: Letting kids play with guns

A two-year-old boy shot dead his 11-year-old sister while they and their siblings played with a gun inside their Philadelphia home. Jamara Stevens was fatally wounded with a gun police believe was brought into the house by the mother’s boyfriend a few hours earlier. Their mum, Tiffany Goldwire, had popped to the bathroom when the shooting happened. According to police, the family’s four children were playing together in a bedroom when the toddler pointed the cocked handgun at Jamara and fired, hitting her in the arm around 10am (Eastern Daylight Time) on Saturday. The bullet travelled through the schoolgirl’s chest and struck her heart. This is why you shouldn't let toddlers play with guns. How would you expect them to know what they're doing with it? And how would you expect them to know those things can kill? Guns should be left only to those who know what they're getting into.
