Connecticut Gun Owner Kills His Own Son

[Tigress DEM]

2. I'm for gun control and responsible use, but why was the Son robbing his Aunt?

Terrible but the person being attacked did not have a weapon and could have been killed. Was the kid high, stealing from his Aunt for drugs? What?

Not to say that if the family talked more and armed themselves less, that this wouldn't have happened, but the kid going after his Aunt with a knife and mask was out of line even if it was just a practical joke. 15 year olds are stupid that way. My son used to dress as a Ninja and jump out to scare people in the neighborhood. Could have given someone a heart attack, but mostly just pissed people off, like ding-dong ditch it's one of those annoying, childish things.

It's just awful that for whatever reason that kid was going after his Aunt, his Dad believed there was danger and decided a gun was the answer to the problem.
