All Settler colonial countries have problems with violence that go back to the original etnic cleansing. The US will never be able to eradicate gun violence
probably more to do with having a lot of justice involved youths running wild on the streets the new term the Obama administration has come up with for young  gangbangers.

Its actually an academic term, but yeah, it does sound a bit PC.

Perhaps, but the rate of gun death in Canada is notably different than in the US.

And yet it's the Mulsims they fear not armed toddlers.

Apart from anything else, should the child not have been in a car seat?

He hit him with the 12th out of 12 shots?! Where did those other bullets go??

And the burglar had already left the house?
Down to the range for some target practice with dad for this kid

How can what he did even be legal?

What if one of those numerous wild shots had hit a neighbour?

Does the fact that the burglar was fleeing with his back to him, having already left the house, meaning the kid was not in danger, mean nothing?

I'd say fair play to the kid.....pity his aim wasn't better though....could've finished him off

He was completely wrong the second the sc**bag fled, prior to that he was well within his rights to shoot the burglar dead.

One Week in April, Four Toddlers Shot and Killed Themselves

.....In a country with more than 30,000 annual gun deaths, the smallest fingers on the trigger belong to children like Sha'Quille.

During a single week in April, four toddlers — Holston, Kiyan, Za'veon and Sha'Quille — shot and killed themselves, and a mother driving through Milwaukee was killed after her 2-year-old apparently picked up a gun that had slid out from under the driver's seat. It was a brutal stretch, even by the standards of researchers who track these shootings......

The NRA will blame the parents, not the gun culture.

sc**bag!!

I don't know if the Daily Mail is reliable enough to believe the report into George Zimmerman's tweets and his recent run ins with the law, but if even half of it is true, those who defended him should be hanging their heads in shame. He appears to be a racist, wife-beating sc**bag. He is milking his infamy from shooting an unarmed teenager, for the money.

The news article doesn't do justice to the callousness of this coward. Have a look at the ad:
