Was a good thing the DHS knew that our latest nut was trying to

Whoops, guess we can't prevent a lunatic from buying a cop killer from
GUNS GALORE in Kileen, TX, even if we know he's going off the deep
end.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — The family of an 8-year-old boy who fatally shot
himself at a gun show in western Massachusetts say the Uzi submachine
gun jammed twice before he lost control of the weapon and fired into
his head.

The family of Christopher Bizilj (bah-SEEL') of Ashford, Conn., says
in a civil lawsuit filed Friday that a 15-year-old instructor who
cleared the gun and handed it back to the victim failed to provide
proper guidance.

The lawsuit names the owners of a gun club where the fair was held,
promoters of the event and those who supplied the weapon and
ammunition. None of those named in the lawsuit could be reached for
comment after business hours Monday.

Bizilj shot himself at the Westfield Sportsman's Club in October 2008.

The boy's family claims the gun was defective and unreasonably
dangerous, and they blame the failure to properly service it.

It doesn't always work that way. I nearly always carry. I value your
life. I will protect you, should you be attacked..... Give your
values, who else could offer that assistance?

Gene, people are stupid. How the hell did an 8 year old get his hands
on an Uzi, having been counseled on its use by a 15 year old at a gun
show?

You obviously have little trust in people if you think you need to
carrry everywhere. I share your concern. Trouble is, how the hell do
you keep idiots from killing people? Everyone can't be armed.
