So tragic...
There's gun control and then there's common sense. In this case, I think there was a lack of common sense.

"This accident was truly a mystery to me," said Bizilj, director of emergency medicine at Johnson Memorial Hospital in Stafford, Conn. "This is a horrible event, a horrible travesty, and I really don't know why it happened."
It certainly is a tragedy but why let your 8 year old son fire automatic weapons? Any loaded gun for that matter.
I wasn't allowed a BB gun until 10.

The father as an ER doc should know better!!! Doesn't he see his share of gun-related injuries and yet takes his kids out to shoot guns.... 8 years old, man!!! What was he thinking?
I feel for the family but the father's an idiot!
