Are people in Boston friggin' stoopid...?

http://www.bostonherald.com/news/reg...s_ Uzi_death/

Lessee here - an 8-year-old boy is dead, having shot himself with an
out-of-control full-auto Uzi, and the local DA is wondering if anyone
might have been negligent...uh, ya think?

While I firmly believe that gun ownership, in general, is a
Constitutionally-protected individual right in the US, I'm pretty sure
it doesn't apply to allowing preteens to operate full-auto
close-quarters combat weapons. What possible defense to criminal
negligence could a parent or instructor possibly have to allowing a 8 YO
child to even handle such a weapon with a loaded magazine, much less
fire the ****ing thing?

And for those that don't know (probably most readers), a Micro Uzi on
full-auto is difficult to control for an untrained adult of average
strength and weighs considerably more than the average pistol or
revolver. I have experience with ones in all of the available calibers,
including while fitted with sub-caliber training devices (.22), and I
would say that there is no way whatsoever that a child could possibly
fire any of them safely while on full-auto. Such a firearm is not a
target pistol nor a "plinking" firearm, it is purely and exactly what it
was designed to be: a weapon, and children have no business whatsoever
even handling such weapons, to say nothing of actually firing the thing.

A sad sheesh,

....and yeah, the father, the (alleged) "instructor" and anyone else
involved in allowing this tragedy deserve some jail time, with the
alleged "instructor" never being allow to so much a touch a firearm ever
again or "supervise" anyone else doing so...

Well, yeah. The whole effin state is stooopid.

Why just yesterday it was revealed that a State Senator, one Diane
Wilkerson, was arrested for bribery. The papers had pictures of her
stuffing bribe money into her bra. Uh, one has to ask: How much
money will a bra hold? Somewhere in the vicinity of $23,000. This is
the same "legislator" that was found guilty of not paying income taxes
a few years ago. And yet....... she keeps getting reelected.

Yeah, people in Boston are stoopid.

You should see the latest Barney Frank commercial. Pathetic! He
talks like he has a mouth full of dick...... oooops, wait a
minute...... he does!

What in hell does Frank being gay have to do with letting a child fire a
Micro Uzi and being stupid?

Sheesh, part deux,

Hell, you should move to Germany and hang out with The Loony,
you sound just like him. And yes, it is pathetic.

Why ask us ? Strap on a D cup, stuff your flabby old man boobs
in it and gather the empirical evidence for yourself. ;-)

Uh ... no need to report your data, you're probably the only
one interested in that particular "experiment".

I've seen a recent picture of you (kaaaccckk). If there be any flabby
old man boobs, they be yours. I'll have you know I am down to 205 and
bench pressing my weight. Not bad for an old man. And what about
that marathon thingy...... you ever gonna run that or was it all talk?

That's just wonderful and I'll bet you have regular bowel
movements too. That Metamucil is wonderful stuff. ;-)

Well, I ran Chicago way back when, finished in 4:15 which
wasn't bad for a 42 year old. I'm not going to qualify for
Boston anytime soon, but the older I get the slower the
qualifying time so in that sense time's on my side.

Take it from an old man, time is *never* on your side.
