Yeah, it's pretty well established that guns make lives cheap. That's one of the reasons why murder rate in USA is so high - pretty much everywhere else we'd have to use knives. Can you imagine that? Taking a knife out of your kitchen drawer and attacking someone? I can't. But if it only took pointing a gun...
You're right that Stick probably wouldn't abandon him if Matt was a killer. But I think it also could have happened AFTER Stick. Matt had already been trained enough to be a small killing machine - or close to it. Now he's left to his own devices, with no direction or supervision, and there really isn't any reason to assume he went back to the nuns on that day. They essentially handed him to Stick no questions asked, does he even still come back for the nights? Would anyone even look for him? I don't think he'd go on a killing spree, but a small boy wandering the streets of New York night after night is a prime target for All Kinds Of Shit.

I'm just saying; stuff might have happened.
