Gun-Control, Anyone?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Shortly after 9 p.m.(Jan. 17) on 37th Avenue North near Charlotte Pike, a 14-year-old Ronald Cornelius Tate shot 11-year-old Akeem Ford to death Thursday night.
Police charged Tate with criminal homicide.

Ford and his 13-year-old brother, who live on Elkins Avenue, were visiting the Tate residence.
While at Tate's home, the two boys were pretending to rob each other. Ford had an unloaded pistol, while Tate had a loaded 12-gauge shot gun. During the game Tate said he unintentionally shot Ford. Ford was hit in the chest at close range and died at the scene.

These kids were just playing... but with REAL guns. You could blame parents, but these days many kids live in a single parent household and the parent is usually away trying to make ends meet. These "accidents" are preventable.
(Watch Bowling For Columbine if you haven't seen it. Michael Moore's films can be viewed as propaganda, but this one really opens your eyes on a few things.)
