When you hear about a kid shooting another kid, single parent households appear most often (by my observations).
You may be able to cite a few cases of kids killing at school (very rare), but every other "child" violence statistic goes the other way. Most of them are inner-city kids with a single parent in the household, and a marginal parent, at that.
The boy who killed a 6 year-old girl in Flint, Michigan had taken his drug-dealing cousin's pimp gun while his single mother was riding the bus to her token "workfare" job.
Not necessarily. Look at all the cases of kids going to schools and intentionally killing people, most came from a two-parent household.
Most of these accidents that happen could have been avoided if the child had been taught basic gun safety.
We live in a rural area and gun safety is pretty much taught from the cradle here. We also have not had any accidental shootings in our county since this deer hunter had a seizure, feel from a stand and the gun accidentally discharged, hitting him.
Shootings by teenage gangsters on the street are indeed mostly done by inner city kids from mother-only homes. But the shootings IN schools, I think are done by kids from a fairly representative array of family structures. The street thugs rarely attend school on a regular basis (if at all), and even when they do, they usually have to pass through metal detectors to get in.
