Usually when a gun nut gets himself shot while engaging in gunnuttery, I find it amusing. Even laughable. But this is a bit different.
Child firing Uzi at Ariz. shooting range accidentally kills instructor, police say
By Steve Almasy, AnneClaire Stapleton and Ray Sanchez, CNN
Ordinarily, a guy who teaches gun nuts how to fire military-grade assault weapons being shot by the very military-grade assault weapon he is teaching some nut to fire would give me an attack of schadenfreude. But this little girl is going to have to live with this the rest of her life.
She is going to carry this weight of having killed a man for the rest of her days because her idiot parents thought that their irrational obsession with weaponry was more important than the health and safety of their child. This poor kid is going to have nightmares the rest of her life because her mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging parents placed more value on their love affair with deadly weapons than on the well-being of their little girl. Absolutely despicable.
Honestly, it's amazing this doesn't happen more often, given our nation's dysfunctional relationship with firearms.
Although, that's not to say that it doesn't happen.
And it goes on and on and on because we don't dare risk hurting the feelings of people like this
who believe that their "right" to dress up and play Army man in public trumps the right of the rest of us not to have to live with the knowledge that any one of us can be shot dead at any moment for any or no reason because FREEDOMMMM!!!!
too many guns + too many nutjobs = killing spree.
ReplyDeletemy first thought about the 9 year old was "why isn't she outside playing with her friends?"
Beyond belief. But, what I really find astounding are some of the comments I've read which DEFEND letting a child fire steel penises...AND...in this case, a high recoil one at that. JESUSHCHRIST!
ReplyDeleteI still cannot believe that the parents of this girl thought she needed to know how to use an Uzi.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to call CPS.
It's disgusting.
Insanity, that's what it is.
