Oh come on when I was 8 I knew what a gun was and the aftermath and heaviness of doing such a thing, kids aren't that clueless.

In most countries, 8 year olds simply have no access to guns.

Well yeqh, even in the USA most year olds don't have guns.

Sure, but if I started posting news articles matching "an American child under twelve years old killed or injured someone with a gun" and you started posting "a child from outside America killed or injured someone with a gun", who do you think would run out of articles first?
