Bullets And Burgers

Looks like a culture of violence in America, and not necessarily where you think. Sad thing is the young girl will have to go through life blaming herself for killing someone.....it won't matter how many times her parents tell her it was their fault for letting her fire it anyway.

Is a 9 year old girl really all that interested in shooting guns? Maybe a 9 year old boy I suppose, particularly if it's the child of twisted, sick, and wrong parents.

"C'mon Lucy, we're gonna go down to the range and Uncle Charlie will teach you how to blow an intruder's head off with a 410."
"But mom!!! I have to glue the fringe on my skirt for the Miss Nevada Pre-Teen Beauty Pageant next week!!!
"Let's have none of that back-talk young lady. Get in the car right now!!!!"
"OK...but it's not fair..."

Jesus fucking christ.

I'm sure the NRA is cooking up some spin to say how teaching 9 year-olds to shoot automatic weapons is an important element in defending our freedoms.

I just heard about this preventable tragedy on the radio.

This was not an accident, it's a negligent homicide.

Our freedom to get away with murder. I'm sure there's a Norman Rockwell painting.

This little girl is screwed. And I find myself being highly doubtful that she has parents who will get her the kind of help she will need to deal with the emotional aftermath of this disaster.

PS - in the "People who want more guns in schools" window...they left out a photo of Kelly Ayotte's mug. She is, IMO the most despicable of them all after seeing her treatment of Erica Lafferty, daughter of Sandy Hook victim Dawn Hochsprung at that town hall meeting in New Hampshire shortly after the Newtown massacre. Just utterly disgusting.

I wonder if this will bring them to their senses, or if it will destroy them all, psychologically. I'd bet on the latter, just at a guess without actually knowing anything about them....

And now I hear that the firearm involved was an Uzi! Why in TF would a parent put an Uzi in the hands of a 9 year old? Hopefully CPS has been called on these idiots and can find out what other insanity they've been up to with their children.
