are you f*** kidding me
why does an 8 year old boy have access to a firearm, why does he know how to use a firearm, and why is he playing violent videogames
why can't people parent their kids

You don't gain access to firearms nor knowledge of how to use them from GTA buddy. Not to mention, kid was probably pretty f*** mentally to do that in the first place.

No, not at all.

Please don't use the word "ironic" if you don't know what it means.

not the definition of irony

it implies that the two events are opposites, not similar
it'd be ironic if she was slaughtered in, say, the city of "slaughterless" or some s*** idk

No he's right, I took a s*** in the toilet that is used for s*** in. Irony.
