Today my four year old grandson told me that a boy near where he lived was shot and killed by a relative, and I thought he was just making up a story.
Unfortunately it was true. This happened in the community that he lives in and it could very well have been one of my grandkids.
This asshole pointed a Glock 27 pistol (which he was sure was not loaded) at his nephew's forehead and pulled the trigger.
Seems any idiot can own a gun in this country, and if it were up to the NRA, every idiot would.

According to State Police, Olm, who lives in Wild Acres, was showing his gun collection to his son and 11-year-old nephew, Hunter Pederson.

Investigators said, while showing the guns off, Olm pointed his Glock 27 pistol at at his nephew's forehead and pulled the trigger.

The gun fired and hit Pedersen just over his right eye. The boy died on scene.

"You should handle every gun with a manner that it is loaded," Lieutenant Christopher Paris, with the Pennsylvania State Police, said. "That's any safe firearms protocol. This is a terrible tragedy."


Man Shoots, Kills 11-Year-Old Nephew

Yes, you should handle every gun as if it were loaded, and if this jackass had been required to take some kind of a gun safety course before he was able to purchase a firearm, perhaps his nephew would still be alive and he would not be headed to prison.
