Two Year Old Shoots Himself in Mouth with Parent’s Gun
Read Time:55 Second
The NRA is succeeding in its efforts to make certain that everyone in America owns a gun, and how better to judge such efforts by the number of children shooting each other, their brothers, sisters, and friends with handguns and rifles given to them as presents.
North Carolina was no exception as a 2 year old toddler found a handgun, unlocked and unattended, in his parents’ bedroom Saturday afternoon, put it in his mouth … and the gun went off, authorities say.
The Asheboro boy is “extremely lucky,” a sheriff’s captain tells the Winston-Salem Journal, because the bullet missed his vital organs (as well as his vital arteries and spinal cord, My Fox 8 reports), and he is expected to survive. Deputies called it a miracle. The 2-year-old’s father, to whom the gun belonged, was home at the time, as were his mother and three older siblings. Authorities will decide whether to charge the parents. Certainly this is reckless endangerment, and negligence, at the least.

Right…the gunners are already making fun of the OK tragedy by comparing it with the Newtown shooting and calling for “tornado control.”
But it’s only “collateral damage” while protecting everyone’s second amendment rights from the Kenyan dictator. Right? Right?
Rrrrriiiiiggghhhhtttt!
