Edit: It appears the FB page is still up. It's just these particular posts that appear to be missing.

Not a cause for laughter or celebration, to be sure. It's fortunate this person wasn't killed. But it would be nice if anyone would recognize that things like this happening aren't just ironic; they are a reality check regarding the idea that saturating the environment with guns makes everyone safer somehow.

This one is particularly disturbing:

"Even my 4 year old gets jacked up to target shoot with the .22."

This would presumably be the 4-year-old who shot his mother with the pistol left in the back seat?



Jesus.
