Oh boy honey, another kid got killed, I have a reason to post to the

boating group today!!! WEEEeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEE!!


I don't usually read or comment on jps's stuff, but I did this one, and two things struck me:

"The rifle that was used was a My First Rifle Cricket rifle, designed
and marketed as a toy for children. Their website says on the home
page, Quality Firearms For America's Youth" At first I though this
was just clumsy writing, but if you parse it carefully it's actually
an attempt on the writer's part to mislead the reader. He's not saying
that the website states that they market the guns as toys, he's just
trying to trick the reader into thinking that. The "toy" statement
is made up commentary by the writer. In other words, a lie in a non-factual article.

Secondly, the commentary by jps on the grandmother's statement is complete hysterical BS. For one thing the grandmother had nothing to do with the accident. The *mother* purchased the gun for the child and failed to lock it up safely. But of course, his comment was really aimed at the religious aspect of her statement, if we can beleive it's a real quote after the toy lie.
What he doesn't understand is that's a coping mechanism, just like if something bad happened to someone in his family, and he drank a half-gallon of whiskey every night and cried himself to sleep. Her way is far healthier for mind and body.

I didn't really expect better.
