and of course I realize he is white and has a better chance of surviving a situation like this but still one never knows what your child is doing outside of your home. I found him googling assault rifles and hand guns and we don't own any of those things. I do have a pellet gun I bought many years ago but he had no idea I had it. I took it out and started to teach him about gun safety. We made a indoor range of sorts in the basement. He does not touch this rifle at all unless I'm with him and we never go outside.
I told him assault rifles take no skill and are just used to spray bullets and to kill as many people as possible. Hand guns are for killing people not game. We read Tamir's tragic story together but I still worry that one day he and his friends who may have a paint ball gun or an airsoft gun may act like fools and I might be planning funeral myself one day. This story has brought tears to my eyes and I wish I could give some sort of comfort to the family.
