In addition to the Sparks case, a five-year-old girl was shot and killed by her eight-year-old brother in western Alaska on Tuesday, while a seven-year-old boy shot his sister, nine, in the leg in Auburn, Washington state, on Thursday.

Kentucky state lawmaker Robert Damron, a Democrat, said: "Why single out firearms? Why not talk about all the other things that endanger children, too?"
There simply is not a laughing smiley that's big enough.

And beaten with a lead pipe?

Yeah...I'd say you have several huge character flaws. I can't wait to one day read about you in the national news.

I doubt it. There's been at least one of these occurring every month. I thought about making a thread about it this summer to point out the insanity. I guess yesterday's events simply reminded people just how "broken the US" is.

I'd say you're just huge.

Think of the bright side: it's extremely rare when a sociopath realizes they're a sociopath, so perhaps there is hope for you.

But I really doubt it...as it's pretty much impossible to change someone's personality type.

Nope, this was on radio 2 today and I thought it would go down rather well here.

You fit the definition of a sociopath much better than I do actually... I'm more of a narcissist.

I'm not trying insulting you by calling you a sociopath. I'm just saying, by definition you're more of a sociopath than I am. This thread is a great example.

Where I indicated sad smiley which indicates empathy you're not even content with a normal smiley, it's not "smiley" enough for you to show your lack of empathy. That's sociopathic behavior.

But you know... it's cool, I don't have a problem with your complete disregard for children... Except the part where I hoped you got shot.

If it was a bow and arrow would you blame the bow and arrow?

Or how about:

If an adult accidently shot an adult dead would you still blame the gun? :offended:

They're not even being sold as toys they're being sold to be used for hunting. ...

Also did you notice the article said a bullet had been left in the gun; seems no-one knew it was loaded; therein lies the error, rather than having the gun at all.
