Fun with Guns: Son of a Gun(Nut) Edition
daChipster reporting:
Last Friday, in Lake Stevens, WA, a 3-year-old boy was playing with a 4-year-old neighbor, behind a locked door in a house chock-full of guns. What could possibly go wrong?
No one seems to know how the kids got the gun. It’s a frickin’ mystery! The dad is an avid “collector” who teaches his children “gun safety” and claims his “hobby” is no more dangerous than stamp-collecting. Because the 1918 “Inverted Jenny” 24¢ Airmail is NOTORIOUS for head wounds. He also was a vocal opponent to Washington’s anti-gun Initiaive 594, which actually passed on election day.
But it gets better worse. Turns out Dad AND Mom both counterfiled against each other last year. Their mutual charge? Leaving guns lying around the house. The kid is still in serious condition, but at least he’s off the critical list.
In related news, a 3-year-old Tulsa boy shot and killed his mother with a semiautomatic hand gun while she changed his sister’s diaper.
Guns don’t kill people. Toddlers do.
