    An 8 year old child in America managed to kill himself.
    What happened? The child was at a gun show and a stall holder gave a loaded Uzi sub-machine gun to him.
    The child managed to shoot himself in the head.

    For fraks sake, when will people kop themselves on! :mad::mad::mad:

    This is NOT an anti-American post - JUST an anti-stupid action post

    Sad, just sad...

    If someone gave my daughter or son a loaded weapon of any kind, I'd personally kill the person handing it over to them!

    Only in America.

    Sad thing is that no one may be charged over the matter,
    "Massachusetts law allows a child to fire a gun with parental consent, so long as there's an active permit for the gun and a licensed firearm instructor is supervising. It is unclear whether the gun had a permit or whether the instructor was licensed, but Nunez said Christopher's father was nearby"

    The levels of stupidity in some people never ceases to amaze me.

    The seller if he is that stupid should NEVER have got a licence to sell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,159 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    killing himself in an accident some say should never have happened.

    Some?! I think everyone would say it coulda be feckin avoided!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,227 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    I heard Barack Obama was there and ordered the stall owner to give the child a gun and personnally checked to make sure it was loaded first.*













    *Dramatization, may not have happened.

    What fúcktard gives an 8 year old a gun in a crowded area and doesn't think it might a tad dangerous.

    Surely you'd either be right there to see your child get handed a gun, or you'd have let your child wander unaccompanied around a gun show. Either case, not just the eager gun salesman's fault.

    Well, I was going to but I'm turned off the idea now...

    I have a four year old child (1 of 3).
    If in four years a person gives my child a loaded lethal weapon, I would gladly do jail time for punishing their stupid, crass and unjustifable actions.

    I'm going to bed shortly but before I do, I will look in on them to see that they are ok.
    The thoughts of someone handing them an Uzi just makes me down-right mad!

    May the poor child that passed away rest in peace.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭truecrippler


    Well that'll teach the young little nipper a lesson about fire-arms.

    Wouldn't have worked , they would be bat babies and therefore would have seen you gunning.

    It doesn't matter. I don't have children because I'm shooting blanks.

    God.. America really needs to do something about guns in that place. Its really really rediculous, and only getting worse. 2 students killed last night and now a 8 year old kid.. wtf like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,814 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    They will somehow find a way of blaming computer games and/or the internet.
    Only in America.

    Sad thing is that no one may be charged over the matter,

    that's some quality parenting right there.

    Gun Laws in the state allowed for children to use firearms with parental consent. More than likely, the gun vendor will walk away clean.

    Parents are as much to blame as the gun vendor in this case IMHO.

    It was lucky it was only himself he shot to be honest. There could have easily been a lot more people killed/injured.
