Toddler wounds both parents with 1 shot from handgun

Toddler was a good shot, too bad the parents were stupid enough to leave wife's purse with a loaded gun in it for the kid to reach.

More irresponsibility from gun owners.

Authorities have taken their child away from them for the time being, but maybe too late.

Well then I guess because of a handful of incidences then we should yank the 310 million plus firearms out of the hands of citizens.(sarcasm)
 
Apparently those parents passed the courses for concealed carry. :roll:

Springsteen was in the background and I thought of this



"Outlaw Pete" BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

Outlaw Pete...

He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail
At six months old he'd done three months in jail
Here at the bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet
All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."

I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outjaw Pete!
Can you hear me?

At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal
And they rode around and 'round on heaven's wheel
Father Jesus, I'm an outlaw killer and a thief
And I slowed down only to saw my grief

I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?

They cut his trail of tears across the countryside
And where he went, women wept and men died
One night he woke from a vision of his own death
Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West
Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res
And as the smooth ?fairy? he held that beautiful daughter to his chest

I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan
His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man
He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the drop
He said, "Pete, you think you've changed, but you have not."
He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shot him ?let it start?
He drew a knife from his boot and pierced Dan through the heart
Dan smiled as he laid in his own blood dying in the sun
And whispered in Pete's ear, "We cannot undue these things we've done."

You're Outlaw Pete!
You're Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop
Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top
He watched the hawk on a desert ?? slip and slide
Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his bony side

Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge
Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge
The young Navajo girl washes in the river, skin so fair
And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hair

Outlaw Pete!
OutJaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

This is why I don't purse carry. Too paranoid.

Perhaps the problem is not the gun in this case but the parenting skills of the adults and we need to take a closer look at preparing people for a job that many never prepare for other than a few minutes of sex.
 
Hey , the kid was just exercising his first amendment rights.
Mom and Dad never gave him any say in the brand of cereal he was forced to eat or what cartoons he was allowed to watch.
The kid's lawyer claims that Dad was a threat of possibly spanking him and the kid was merely standing his ground.

Maybe it's just because they didn't prepare better for those few minutes of sex that they had the little assassin.
 
I'm not sure how this has anything to do with gun control. I CAN see how this would have something to do with sperm control.

No but these 2 are real winners.
 
Well, that does it. Since there are two stupid parents, we must go ahead and disarm everyone else. It's the only logical thing to do.

No, what it means is that not everybody should own a firearm. How do we manage that, I don't have a clue. We license drivers too but there are number out there driving who definitely should be taking the city bus.
 
Someone get this kid an AR-15 for his birthday-- he's a natural born operator.

good point. people with drivers' licenses never get into wrecks or drive drunk
 
I read about this earlier. The mom is pregnant, and they are living in a hotel. The kids are in custody of children services right now, and she's in the hospital. I am wondering why the woman is bringing another child into the world. The couple is practically homeless, and her kid shot her with her own gun.
 
When my first son was born I went around the house and put these little plug things in all the electrical outlets and I installed trick latches on the inside of all the low level cabinets. I did all this to keep my child safe. Things worked out pretty well because the kid didn't fry himself or get into the cleaning products under the sink. I don't know if those parents took the steps I did, but it's obvious they didn't think of safeguarding their child from their weapon.

But I have to wonder...if I hadn't taken the steps I did...if my son had hurt himself or others...would people be clamoring to ban electricity or household cleaning products?

There is no category of persons that can be devised, which numbers in the millions, that does not include a few idiots, and an occasional brain-fart. This does not change the fact that tens of millions of gun owners had zero incidents this year, most of whom had zero incidents EVER.

You're right. They also can't place a car into their holster under their coat.

rather than such silly retorts that have no real merit-what is your point?
 
Maybe the kid didn't want his parents genes to spread any farther. He may know something we don't.
 
Best line in the entire article:

Local media reports say police believe Saturday's shooting was accidental.

A Bucks County woman and her young daughter were seriously hurt Tuesday in a freak accident when the woman's 4-year-old son put their rental car into gear, causing it to roll onto a busy Middletown Township highway, police said yesterday
