That can't be. It's against the law for juveniles to have access to guns - ain't it?

Clearly the laws are not strong enough!

Quick! enact a law to prevent juveniles from using firearms completely!
Throw them in jail for saying the word 'gun' or 'firearm' anywhere!
That surely will prevent this from happening in the future! </Brady>
:roll: :roll: :roll:

In all seriousness though, lots missing from this story. How old was the juvenile who shot him?
Who's gun was it? What was the scenario surrounding the incident?
Without that information, not much can be said about abything.
