If it weren't a gun, he'd have just strangled her, poisoned her, beaten her, stabbed her ext... People seem to forget violent crimes that result in death that did NOT involve a gun happen all the time. The media just doesn't feast upon those stories as a way to stir up controversy.

I'm more concerned as to WHY an 11 year old child was driven to murder than the weapon/method of choice.

Yeah, I've seen an eleven year old pick up a grown man and throw him against a tree, breaking a dozen bones. 

(It was an eleven year old elephant, but what the fuck.) 

Guns just make it easier to kill yourself or somebody else.

Oh but guns are so quick and easy..... and they gets lots of demonstrations on TV all the time.  Can't remember the last time I saw a stabbing on TV.  Doesn't have the same bang-bang impact that guns do.

On occasion, you might want to look up the literature on the psychology of killing. Up close and personal is much more difficult than simply pulling a trigger. "On Killing" by Dave Grossman, an army shrink, might be a good starting point.

He was just playing cowboys and indians. Kids at that age aren't fully aware of the consequences of their actions.
Having easy access to a gun however could have been avoided.
