5 Year Old Accidently Shoots His Baby Brother (Ashton Garcia 2nd)

Recently, a 911 call by a very conceded mother was made. It was discovered that the 9 month old boy was shot in the head by a .22, not a paintball gun (which was the first thought). The baby was rushed to the hospital, but announced dead soon after.

A short but horrifying story. People have the right to bear arms, and although I personally have no intention of owning a gun, I understand many people do. Which is totally reasonable and understandable. However, there should be a strict regulation and strict rules. No child should ever be in reach of a gun, nor believe it's a toy. Accidental shootings have been going on for a while. How will it stop?

  1. This is so freaking sad. Thats why I belive that guns should not be so easily distributed.

  2. Yes, I understand guns are to give you the feeling of safety when felt harmed; but for you to leave it in reach of your child that can shoot something or someone is your fault no doubt about it.

  3. This is a very tragic story. This will surely raise opinions and controversy about the second amendment. And under no means, a child should never be in possession of a gun!
