Too late smart. Babies with guns

Last edited Mon Jan 19, 2015, 04:37 PM - Edit history (1)

According to the Nodaway County Sheriff's Office, it was reported that a 9-month old infant was shot in the head with a .22 caliber hand gun by a 5-year-old boy believed to be the infant's brother. Nodaway County Sheriff Darren White says the infant is alive and was flown by helicopter to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

He kept it in a supposedly locked safe that was up high. Don't know if it was loaded.
My soon to be wife was visiting there one night when she saw his then 2 year old daughter dragging the pistol around.

This is so sad.
No doubt some NRA idiot will say we need more guns.
