Fist off let me say this is a tragedy I'm sorry a life of a 12 year old is lost.
But with that said I must say. Why is a 12 year old kid walking the streets with a Replica gun? It looks like a copy of a Model 1911. The kid was carrying it in his waste band where most roaches carry their pistol. Any one who knows guns would be hard pressed to be able to tell weather this is a real gun or not.
The media is calling the gun the 12 year old was carrying a BB gun. (Here is where the media spin comes in) calling the kids gun a BB gun is like calling a trained fighting pitbull "the family pet". Yes technically it was a BB gun but how is any one to know or tell the diff.
Let's talk about the parents.
If your a parent and you allow your kid to have a replica gun your Stupid! Ok wait that's a bit harsh. If you allow your kid to have one you better make sure they have enough brain power to know tucking one away in your waste band and going down the street is a "bad Idea" IMO this was totally preventable and with parental oversight and education this would have never been a issue.
After the kid in Sonoma got shot and killed for having the Fake AK-47 you would think any parent with a brain would either take away there kids fake guns or "have the talk" with them about how fake guns can get you killed just as fast as a real gun.
Here is a pic of what the Media is calling a BB gun!
