Seriously, dudes, what in the hell does it take to convince certain people that this has become insane and ENTIRELY out of hand?
From the LA Times:
Five-years-old, people.
FIVE!
I know that there are people who have taken to using 'guns' as both their woobie and their mou-mou, but I think it's now officially in the provence of pathologically motivated criminal negligence. Some 'freedumbz-loving' idiot gave a loaded gun to a five year old! The damn thing is even marketed by its manufacturer as "my first gun" (and I am so totally not kidding).
From the LA Times:
A 2-year-old Kentucky girl was accidentally killed by her 5-year-old brother who fired a rifle he had been given as a gift, officials said Wednesday. Cumberland County Coroner Gary L. White said an autopsy of Caroline Starks showed the toddler had died from a single shot from the .22-caliber rifle. The death has been ruled accidental and no charges will be filed, he said in a telephone interview with the Los Angeles Times.
“Most everybody in town is pretty devastated by this,” White said. “Nobody wants to take anyone’s guns away, but you’ve got to keep them out of harm’s way for the kids. It’s a safety issue.”
