that can put more than your eye out pal...
still, world’s getting more wicked, i could almost swear.
Ouch. Just thinking back to the BB gun fights we had regularly back in more innocent times. The only rule was no head shots.
Paging Saul Alinsky....paging Mr Saul Alinsky...
If this had happened Up East instead of Tennessee we could expect a huge media outcry followed by a legislative rush to make tyrannical/draconian laws to punish the entire population for this isolated accident/crime.
The powerful ones have such high muzzle velocities that the pellet is supersonic and it cracks like a regular rifle. It makes is hard to pick off a few varmint in the city without letting your neighbors know. I’ve heard a few around us.
One commenter at he paper: “Guns leave a long trail of sadness, heartache, and death.”
My response:Except when that gun ends the long trail of sadness, heartache and death caused by criminals with no respect for life or humanity. A gun is a tool, it is used by man as all tools are, the failure is in man not a tool. Sadly bad choices were made here, the tool was left unrestricted to immature children and a very small child was left in the care of other young children.
Dreadful. RIP.
