I have been around children that age shooting in competition, where the children had proper training and the parents were supervising them. The were safe and sometimes hard to beat :( However I do draw the line in this case because that 12 year old violated every rule in the book about gun handling. I am glad nobody with the exception of that child's bottom was hurt.

I don't think that little worthless POS was concerned about gun rules. His only concern was committing first degree murder. I hope they put his ass behind bars until he's so old he can't remember is own name and has to wear a diaper.

I notice that the linked article consistently misgenders the victim (assuming that the designation "transgender woman" wasn't simply additiona bad reporting on the TV station's part.) Refers to her as a "man" and uses a male name for her.
