A good gun for kids, not much stopping power on a human at any sort of range but a good 'Varmint' gun to keep around the trailer in a rat infested park. It was probably a 20 bore Remington.

We need to take action. Something like a wall around USA trailerparks could portect the thousons of inocent that happen to lik near one. Please, think of the childern. Would you want your kid walking to school inoccently past a trailer park and get hit? Mind you, I don't want to take away their guns. I recognize their right to self defence. But it's the people outside the parks we need to help. For the sake of the gods, will someone think of the children! This has been happing a lot latly. We need to take action.

He could have picked it up but not hold it steady to aim, which might explain how he shot the teenager in the foot. However, I read it was a shotgun - a whole different ballgame than a handgun. When I was a teenager and my uncle handed me a shotgun to shoot - it is very heavy and when I pulled the trigger the kick-back on my shoulder knocked me back and left my shoulder black and blue! I'm having a hard time swallowing the story if it was a shotgun! Why my thoughts, June, to myself was it really the little child.

How would that child know to use a gun to shoot someone - television programs day and night show violence, shootings. Too many parents do not monitor what their little ones can watch on television. Hopefully, the parents will be charged for leaving the gun out, loaded and not locked up.
