Dude, what?

Kids his age are incredibly irrational. There are many, many explanations as to why he could very easily not have understood what he was doing. In fact, we know he didn't understand the implications. Zero ten year olds on the planet understand implications of these kinds of actions in the ways that adults do, and when they conform it's largely due to how they're being raised and such

The kid could so easily have just thought that the "gun solves problems" in the same way that pushing his sister when he's mad "solves problems"

Besides, you can guarantee that any kid who is capable of getting his hands on a loaded gun has terrrrrrrrrrible parents. Torturing the kid for the rest of his life is not even close to a solution
