And it happens again!

Just total stupidity at work here. Don't get me wrong I feel sorry for all involved here but once again all rules were broken and somebody tried to be funny with a gun and it cost a precious life.

Police: Michigan 16-year-old accidentally kills brother

Dang. Sounds like a bad scene all the way around.

Crazy part is supposedly no one in the family owns the gun so where did the underage younger brother get it ? Could get even uglier.

Yep. Guns just don't appear. Seems a little fishy to me.

Oddly enough, this very subject is being discussed in the political forum......seems thugs often hide guns in other peoples homes, with or without the homeowners consent.

Very stupid and sad...

It said the younger boy found it in the bedroom of the 21 year old.

If you don't talk to your kids about gun safety... well, bad things will happen. I don't get it when parents don't see a need to talk to their kids about guns because "we don't have guns in the house." You never know if they'll stumble upon a gun, inside or outside the home. It's best they know the dangers. I just can't fathom being a parent and not teaching my kids such common sense.

Exactly
I taught both my daughter who I had custody of at 8. And my son , who I didnt, at about 12 when he visited. ( boy did I get h*ll for it) but he fondly remembers it. And you just got his NY carry permit recently

Guns do not appear. But as MDA tell us they are the reason why violence happens. This fully-semi-automatic assault handgun with its .30 caliber clip and shoulder thingy that goes up possessed the boy and caused him to commit this act

We talked to our kids about illegal drugs even though we had none in the house.

We made plans on what to do in case of a fire, but never had one (to date at least).

I tried teaching gun safety to my neice. She started out with how guns are scary, slowly climbed up to those are pretty cool and then slammed into the ground by trying to act all gangster with a not loaded pistol. I don't try any more, but I did at least try.
