2. If only the 14 year old had a gun
another criminal could have been stopped.

3. It should definitely be illegal for children to be in possession of handguns.
Oh wait it already is.

11. Actually, childhood deaths due to gun fire have been dropping significantly...
Check out the National Safety Council.

6. That very thing just happened in my neck of the woods not too long back.
Minivan rolled 3 times, ejected 2 young children who weren't buckled in, killed one of them.

The parents were never charged.

7. ???
Sorry, I'm not sure what you were trying to say here.

I suspect that would cause major deflection of the tire, leading to an eventual blowout. Beyond that, I'm clueless.

10. Bail denied for schoolboy 'stabber'
A 13-year-old boy accused of the stabbing murder of a classmate on Brisbane's northern bayside yesterday has been denied bail.

* * * *

The boy, who did not appear in court today, is charged with the stabbing murder of 12-year-old St Patrick's College schoolmate Elliott Fletcher yesterday morning.

Mine is just as relevant, and in my story the boy was younger.

Knives are a terrible weapon designed only to kill. Do you get what I'm implying here?
