15-year-old daughter of U.S. Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay fatally shot

We're hearing about this tragedy because the victim's father is a famous athlete, but Trinity joins close on 100 gun fatalities each and every day.

Kentucky, by the way, "does NOT:

"Conduct its own background checks for firearm sales, but instead relies on the FBI;

Require a background check prior to the transfer of a firearm between private parties;

Prohibit the transfer or possession of assault weapons, 50 caliber rifles or large capacity ammunition magazines;

License firearm owners;

Require the registration of firearms;

Limit the number of firearms that may be purchased at one time;

Impose a waiting period on firearm purchases;

Regulate unsafe handguns;

Require firearm owners to report lost or stolen firearms to law enforcement; or

Significantly regulate ammunition sales."

Gun control laws anybody?

Though, not sure what a 15-y-o was doing out at 4am. Paper round?

Anyway, a tragedy which nobody deserves.

While I hate to say it, indeed. I will most certainly get voted down for this but if our 15 year old is out at 4am chances are, they aren't out with "good" people. A tragedy indeed but folks, 15 year olds shouldn't be out, more so was idiots with guns or in places there are guns.

but Trinity joins close on 100 gun fatalities each and every day. 100 deaths a day? You sure about that?

Victim blaming. Disgusting.

A terrible tragedy for yet another family.

Just a thought, teens aren't known for their wise decisions, and have also been known for sneaking out of the house to do whatever they feel like. Thug lives always cause misery and death for others in their community.

Extremely sad news, but there is such a thing as contributory negligence and allowing a 15 y/o out at 4 AM falls into that category.
