Ah yes, because we never call for more screenings, better background checks, mandatory training and regulations on how to safekeep your guns. Wtf kinda shit are you smoking bud?

I think the biggest problem here is safekeeping. If the gun was properly locked away this wouldn't have happened. Same goes with a lot of gun related crimes and accidents where kids have gotten their hands on weapons.
“Let’s use one extreme example to represent an already skewed statistic by the media to push our agenda, along with using mental retardation as a way to belittle our opponent! Yeah!” Taking the guns away is not the solution.
one event preformed by a bratty child=/= a valid argument.
and presenting anyone who opposes you as mentaly challenged=automaticly less valid argument.
In an alternate universe without guns this reads “child stabs grandma to death and then stabs self.” When an airplane crashes because the owner didn’t responsibly take care of it we don’t try and ban aircraft- we reinforce the concept of responsible ownership of a machine that if you are careless with- people die. Lock up guns. Keep them hidden and out of reach of kids. Don’t keep them loaded or keep ammo near the weapon. People hurt or kill others with road rage all the time- in an empty world we kill each other with rocks. The behavior of angry, disturbed, or irresponsible people isn’t an indictment of guns any more than it is one of humanity. If you trust the wrong person with access to a stapler you’re going to get hurt. We apply logic to guns emotionally in ways we wouldn’t apply it to any other machine or tool.

I don't think the two are correlated. This is just poor parenting. If the kid had pushed his granny off the second story balcony and then followed, you wouldn't call for no balconies.
