Wait for the antis to start screaming for more "common sense" gun laws. It's for the children after all.
Forget about the fact that they stole the gun, instead make it about the gun owner!!

I don’t like the fact that a loaded gun was left unsecured in an unlocked car that is not a decision a responsible gun owner would make. Great PR for responsible gun owners at the start of a new year.

Guess if they hadn't been doing what they shouldn't have been doing, it never would've happened. On a side note, idiot should get a punch in the head for leaving the car unlocked.

It was a plant by the antis that backfired

From the article: "handling it and pointing it at the others when it fired"

NO; the little thief pulled the trigger! Guns don't just FIRE!!

Sure, it was irresponsible for the gun owner to leave the loaded gun in his unlocked vehicle, BUT.... the thieves stole it!

The initial news articles from this sad storyline directly repeated the police statement but I noticed that some of the articles have since been updated to delete references to an unlocked auto. Not sure what that means since all statements from the surviving burglars and their court appointed counsel should be beyond reproach.

The safe act and more gun control would have prevented this.
I'm sad this happened and the kid died.

Sounds like a few shitty citizens went out on a stealing spree and stole more than expected.

Cancer on our society!
