A 5-year-old Utah boy died when he accidentally shot himself with a handgun in a small town south of Salt Lake City on Thursday, police said.
Lt. Mike Wall with the Santaquin Police Department told KSL-TV the boy found a 9 mm handgun in the back room of his house and fired a single shot. The boy’s parents and siblings were inside the home when the shooting happened but were not with him in the room.
If the 5-year-old boy had a gun he could have defended himself from… Oh wait
Wait, I think you’re on to something. This situation could have definitely used more guns, less gun laws and less gun safety measures.
He needed one of those plastic sheriff stars to make him a good guy.
Would love to hear about how this could have been prevented, by having more guns, and less guns restrictions
With more guns, the staggering weight of choice paralysis would have stopped this
Easy: if the kid had a gun, he could have threatened the kid with a gun with his gun so the kid with a gun wouldn’t have shot the kid with a gun.
I mean, isn’t it obvious?
Obviously if there were more guns back there he would’ve been overwhelmed by the number of guns it would not have been able to select a single gun. Solution is purchasing more firearms, And displaying those firearms fully loaded.
This is why every wall of my house is lined with guns: So I don’t accidentally shoot something.
At least they had a weapon to defend their family against people who would hurt them. You wouldnt want your kids getting hurt by someone being reckless with a firearm
Media needs to stop calling these accidents. There are multiple preventable things that took place before this happened. This is negligence.
My bad, that was “an accident” - NRA
Jesus fuck.
But it’s ok because people kill people, guns don’t kill people!
‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.
5-year-old Utah boy dies from shit parenting.
The only thing that stops a bad five year old killing himself with a gun is a good five year old killing himself with a gun.
