If they didn't argue about the game they would have argued about something else and shot the gun off anyway.

Misleading and bias article title. Games don't kill kids, parents who don't lock up their guns do.

Well its premeditated murder, then. I mean the kid knew what he was doing. Its not like some idiot kid fooling around, the father taught him about gun safety.clembo1990

Exactly what I was thinking.

Why did that kid have access to a gun in the first place?

Man.... and I thought it was bad when people team kill in L4D.

This is ULTIMATE TEAM KILL!

This is very sad. And that kid still seems to be trying to save his own hide even after he killed his own brother. Im gonna be frank and say these kids should never be born, and the parents deserve to die.

I'm going to take a "wild" guess and say... GTA.

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here and say the father never educated hhis children on proper firearm safety and kept the gun under lock and key where his kids could not access it.

Theres something wrong with him. Chances are he isn't mentally stable.

There are guns in my house. My brother can get to them, he never tries to shoot me. Chances are there's something very wrong with the kid, he's screwed up in the head. He would've killed him, gun or not, and he would've killed him, video game or not.

Sociopaths can be any age.

Where the **** did he get a gun from?

Edit: Oh I see, they had the mentality that a gun is perfectly deadly when you want to defend yourself, but in the hands of a 9 and 13 year old, they're perfectly safe :roll:

I can understand wanting a gun in the house for defence, even though it most likely isn't needed. But you do not let children near it, or let them figure out how to use it. This isn't the fault of video games, it was the fault of the gun owner for not keeping it out of the reach of their kids.

My brother knows how to use guns. He started using them at 10.

He's never killed anybody, probably because he is a sane, mentally healthy person.

Well the father said it was kept unloaded, but considering that the living kid lied about how it happened to get out of trouble, I wouldn't be surprised if the father is lieing as well.

Sadly this made me laugh. Im sure somebody is going to use this as a reason to put bans on entertainment or guns. When they should really be doing something with the kid instead. Which I'm sure they will, but probably wont get through the kids head.

I don't see how that changes anything.

The gun isn't the problem here. Its the crazyass sociopath kid that got angry enough to commit murder over a video game.

That's just crazy. Don't get me wrong my little brother and me had some epic fights over games(mostly Madden and NCAA) around that age, but we never even thought of using guns. We have plenty of guns at my house too.

Theres a major difference between beating your brother and shooting him.

This wasn't a lapse in judgement, this was insanity, clear in the making. If it wasn't a gun it would've been something else. The kid is screwed up in the head, period. If you get angry enough over ANYTHING to murder your own brother in cold blood, you'rea deranged psycho.

The real question is, where the **** does a 11 year old get a firearm that is LOADED and figures its a good idea to shoot someone?

[QUOTE="-TheSecondSign-"]

[QUOTE="T_P_O"] Well, the gun is what enabled him to kill his brother, if he didn't have access to it, the kid may have beat his brother up, but unlikely to have killed him. I'm not stating guns should be banned, but at least keep the ammunition locked away if you're going to keep the gun wide open.T_P_O

So the kid wouldn't have found a knife or something? I don't buy it.
