Coroner: 5-year-old boy shoots 2-year-old sister in Kentucky with rifle he got as a gift - The Washington Post: BURKESVILLE, Ky. — In southern Kentucky, where some children get their first guns even before they start first grade, Stephanie Sparks was cleaning the kitchen as her 5-year-old son played with the small rifle he was given last year. Then, as she stepped onto the front porch, “she heard the gun go off,” a coroner said.

In a horrific accident Tuesday that shocked a rural area far removed from the national debate over gun control, her son, Kristian, had fatally shot his 2-year-old sister, Caroline, in the chest, authorities said.

My mother,

who lives in Arkansas,

informed me my redneck brother has just purchased himself

a

bushmaster gun.

 

I went ballistic.

 

What surprised me even more,

my mother acted like she was

clueless

this

would set off a trigger of mine.

 

"MOTHER!

When men jack off...

they fantasize!"

 

"When men hold a gun...

they fantasize!" 

 

His fascination with guns started off at a young age as well. 

 

Jesus Fucking  Christ on a Corndog!

 

Aren't 5-year-olds

with

B-B guns

dangerous enough?
