Gun Nuts Charged with Boyslaughter

[Stingo]

The case happened in October, where at one of those gun nut exhibitions they allowed an 8 year old boy to test fire a micro Uzi. The boy couldn’t handle the kick, and thus shot himself dead. Now the charges are being filed, and finally some gun nuts are being held responsible for their actions, in this case with charges of manslaughter.

1. And let there be a civil case to follow.

Let the liability policies of these gun show organizers and exhibitors grow to exhorbitant cost.

2. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Yeah, right. Then why is this boy dead?

3. Guns aren't stupid, people are stupid

criminally so. There's your answer.

5. Stupid people with guns

are far more dangerous than stupid people without them. There is your answer.

7. Well Said, s_g

Far too obvious and self-evident a statement for our resident gun nuts to agree with, but that's OK.....

8. So the 8 year old boy was stupid?

9. He was 8 years old what do you think?

Who was keeping a gun in the house where a child could find it? That was the stupid person.

[RC]

14. Did you read the opening post?

Thought not. The kid did not just find it. It was handed to him to fire by an adult.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

15. Yeah I read it

If you think the kid was the idiot after an adult gave him the firearm, then you are obviously the idiot.

16. You really do have a comprehension problem, don't you?

I said nothing about anyone being an idiot. And the question mark after a sentence in response #8 means the sentence just before said question mark, was asking, in this case, for clarification of your post #7. It was not a statement saying the boy was an idiot. It was a question, a simple yes/no question.
You introduced "idiot" to this thread.

17. Okay sorry n/t

10. the 8 year old boy was an 8 year old boy

It is the job of the parents and other adults to be smart and experienced. It is a shame he died because they were stupid.

11. i think the people who let that kid anywhere near that gun were the stupid ones.

and eight year old doesn't know he shouldn't be messing with guns.

13. Precisely. It's scary to think those have guns. Apparently, the instructor(!)

had already had an accident with a gun previously!

4. Guns do NOT kill people. It's the BULLETS that kill people.

[Stingo]

6. Only stupid people would have used bullets?

I'll go with that. But we're definitely talking criminally stupid here.

12. i like chris rocks idea in "head of state"....

make the bullets $5000 a piece. sure would cut down on shooting deaths and accidents like that which wwould let an 8 year old shoot a gun.

18. How about just

outlaw such an unsafe gun? The thing can't even hit a target!
