Lifetime NRA membership for pop tart gun!

Boy, suspended for chewing Pop-Tart into shape of gun, gets lifetime NRA membership
Maryland state legislator Nicholaus Kipke presented Josh Welch with NRA membership at a Republican fundraising event.
--snip---
Welch said he was actually trying to duplicate the shape of a mountain, which figured prominently in a recent drawing he made.
---snip---
“Everyone keeps asking me why I did it,” he said. “I don’t know why I did it ... I wish people would stop asking me about it. It’ll probably go on for 45 years or something.”
Welch was much more low key, preferring to play games on a cell phone during Wednesday’s function.

At least the kid didn't really think much about it, but the NRA doesn't miss a trick. I really wonder what the parents were thinking!? I'm surprised he didn't get a AR-15 and a box of bullets for his birthday.
