That creepy Hello Kitty assault rifle gives you a huge hint as to why there are so many accidents involving guns there days. The pro-gun militants spew a lot of noise about proper training, but the obvious fact is that there are many people who shouldn't be anywhere near a firearm. Things aren't going to get any better until a bunch of tough restrictions are in place, and a whole bunch of individuals do some growing-up.
