Gun safes...how do they work?

"Detectives say they don't know why he shot, only that he was playing Grand Theft Auto, a popular video game that gives players points for shooting people."

Well we've got correlation, so let's assume causation is there too and call it a day.

Also I lol whenever someone who's never played a game tries to explain it.

They forgot to mention how many points you get for raping hookers. Because why pay for what you can take for free?!?

So is this a legalize prostitution, then regulate it and encourage unionization (and general OSHA compliance) thread?

It's already legal in Nevada. I'm sure you're very aware of that.

Prostitution is legal in some counties of Nevada. I'm sure you're very aware of that.

8-year-old playing GTA? Parenting fail. Unsecured firearm around your child? Parenting fail. Charge the parent(s), or as CNN reports, the person who identified himself as the child's father, with murder. A-C-C-O-U-N-T-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y. Done.

From what I understand the person who was shot was the child's caregiver so....there really is no one alive to hold accountable. Well except the boy.

I disagree. If the parent(s) left the child in an environment where there were such games to be played and accessible firearms, they are guilty in my book.
