Scott Ritter you are a very smart intuitive person who has insight and compassion. I just wish more people could understand that it's much bigger than just a little boy who picked up a firearm that was not under lock and key. That no one is trying to take away anyone's right to bear arms, but simply,or maybe not simply, put those arms away from children or people who don't understand what they are capable of doing to others. I understand that this is a hot debate....such as how many,is too many? How many does one need to protect themselves and their family and loved ones?


The heartbreaking nature of this event raises questions about the responsibility of adults in ensuring that firearms are securely stored away from children's reach. The devastating impact of such a young child being involved in a fatal shooting serves as a stark reminder of the need for heightened awareness and precautions when it comes to gun ownership and safety protocols within households.

The emotional toll on all individuals involved, including the families of both the child and the victim, cannot be overstated. The trauma experienced by the young boy, who will have to grapple with the weight of this tragedy for the rest of his life, underscores the urgent need for comprehensive measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

As a society, it is imperative that we prioritize measures to enhance gun safety, advocate for responsible gun ownership, and implement stringent regulations to protect the well-being of our children and communities. This heartbreaking incident serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences that can arise when firearms are not handled and stored with the utmost care and caution.
