Easy Access to Gun by Child Leads to Shooting!

A ten-year-old boy left home alone with his sister used his mother's gun to shoot an intruder in the face, police said. [More]
No statement from the Brady Campaign? Evidently Paul Helmke would prefer if the children had been raped and strangled...?

just another "inconvenient truth" David, well a series of them.

1) That kids CAN use guns.
2) That defensive use of guns occurs.
3) That prisons and the "justice" system are broken. 7 years for aggravated assault and 2 carjacking counts.

I suspect if one were to look further into the past of the thugs you might see something along the lines of Cheyenne Cherry's youth. Google her, she's a F'ing winner and we will see more from her in the future.

Good for the kids, but I wish they had done a better job.

Why, yes, now that you ask, they both prefer dead victims to live gun owners.

Here's the truth: If the kid kills a violent criminal no one in the criminal justice system can feed off of it. Had this violent criminal committed violent crimes against the two children. Then the parasites in the criminal justice system could milk the taxpayers to no ends.

This incident serves as a counterpoint to the Merced pitchfork killings that John Lott has written about.

This is such a horrible story. Why should these children be subjected to having such a dangerous gun in the house?

Can't we all pitch in and buy their mother a .45?

Think the cops confiscated the gun for "evidence"?

Shot him in the lip...?

Sounds like some dialogue from "Rustler's Rhapsody" - "Why - I'll have to shoot you in the hand."

Steady. On. Center. Mass.

Kent,

You can bet they did.

2nd verse: She'll have a hell of a time getting it returned, if she ever does.
