Came back and killed the father of 3 that worked hard and was the neighborhood hardware store guy.
That kid could of had a knife, a lock in a sock, and all these other weapons you guys say criminals could use in place of guns, but he could of defended his self with those. He was in a hardware store, he could of grabbed a sledge hammer if it was necassary. However a 13yo took his life. Without the gun that man would probaly still be alive.
These types of things happen everyday in America. Way way more often than people actually defending themselves with a gun. You can say whatever you want, but the facts don't lie.
