St. Louis County police say a 21-month-old boy apparently fatally shot himself with a loaded handgun at a home in Hanley Hills on Tuesday.

Well, it is St Louis.  It will save the cops the trouble of shooting him in a few years anyway.

Wait, SW Ohio charged a kid for an accidental shooting?  That seems like an outlier, don't most of these "it went off" types, as adults, get off scott free?

I get so tired of reading these while the politicians keep cashing the checks from the NRA and pretend they can wash off the blood that the money is soaked with.

The blasé acceptance that, yes, you might well get shot some day is as much of a facet of American life in 2015 as it was in 2002. We are as desensitized now as we were were in 1993, when Colin McCarthy shot up a Long Island Railroad train car of commuters and in 1984, when James Huberty shot up a McDonalds in San Ysidro, California . The shooting at the University of Albany, in upstate New York (1994) didn’t change anything. Columbine (1999) didn’t change anything. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania Amish schoolhouse shooting (2006) didn’t change anything.

Nothing changed for Americans because our political leaders didn’t change anything. Instead, a nation ducked.

That is impressive, being a gun owner and user, i know that all of mine and my buddy's have a pretty good trigger pull when it is not cocked. That was some bad ass kid.

Our country is averaging more than one mass shooting per day now

Whee.


Lets have a new national anthem.

O beautiful for lots of guns,
And bullets flying free,
With gun nuts blasting everything,
That comes within their view.
Amerika! Amurrica! You truly are fucked up,
The trail of blood is on your hands,
From corpse to bleeding corpse.

Let's see if the "people-kill-people-with-knives" crowd has an answer for this?
