    Under a news story of a youth who fatally injured himself while playing with a gun, I got 38 downvotes but a lot more upvotes.

    I am apalled to see the comments here making light of the death of a child with their “win stupid prizes” schtick.

    Instead of talking about access to gun safety education if kids are in a gun household. Instead of reminding parents about the absolute necessity of gun safes. Instead of calling for gun reform so kids can’t get guns in the first place.

    But no, carry on victim blaming, seems much more productive.
