still more evidence that guns don't kill people, children with guns kill people

From CNN.com:
"When Carolyn Moore answered the light knock on her front door Sunday night, she was greeted by a [10-year-old] boy wearing only burgundy underwear and holding a shotgun.

'There stood this poor, scared, half-naked little boy saying 'Help me, help me. Hide me. They're after me,'' Moore said. 'I could see the fear in his eye. He said, 'They're going to get me and spank me hard.'' [...]

'The child said, 'I done something really bad,'' Moore said, recalling their conversation. 'And I said, `What did you do?'

'He said, 'I shot my dad.''"

Actually, children with parents with guns kill people. And more likely, children with parents with lots of children kill people. It seems like it always takes more than one kid to really get in trouble. Processing, playing, plotting. Why were there sixteen kids exiting the house anyway?

It just goes to show that when little Junior wants to go to the mall and run around with his friends, ol' Dad better not try to assert any parental authority.

I suppose the macaroni and cheese got burned so the brat gut-shot dad. I probably would too.
