Take your kids and guns to Disney World!!! [View all]

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-disney-gun-animal-kingdom-20130529,0,927853.story

"A Walt Disney World park guest found a loaded gun in the seat of a ride at the Animal Kingdom that had fallen out of a man's back pocket on Sunday.

A grandmother handed a Cobra .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol about noon to a park attendant, who immediately contacted security and the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

The owner, Angelo Lista, 44, of Royal Palm Beach claimed the firearm — which had five hollow point bullets inside — fell out of his back pocket during the bumpy Dinosaur ride, according to a Sheriff's Office incident report."

If we had background checks, they should be accompanied by IQ tests...
