8 year olds are old enough to recognize that when they fire a gun at someone, they can kill them. Should we start executing 8 year olds?
Are you familiar with the legal system, or are you basing your opinion on news articles written by people who are not legal scholars? No offense intended, but people who think that our legal system makes no sense are usually the very same people who have the least amount of experience with and knowledge of the legal system.
That's probably true, but would you want to live in that kind of police state? I'm surprised that you have so little regard for our constitution.

No we don't need to kill 8 year olds. That's not what I'm saying.
We just have different views on it.
