A manager at work made a comment that the dealer should be shot.

I had to ask him, what about the father?
Oh, yeah, he should be shot too, but "that dealer" should be shot.

Amazing how piss-ignorant people can rise to powerful management positions - even in nuke power.

As a gun dealer myself, I told him I took exception to such a comment.
Granted, the dealer is a moron for allowing the child to be in that predicament.
I see legal woes in his future.
I have no pity for him in that regard, I just got tarrred and feathered in effigy as a result of his actions.
If the father wanted the boy shooting, he should have been where I was as a child - out in the country with my Dad. My kids learned about guns the same way, out in the desert with ME keeping a very close eye on their every move.
If nothing else, I don't wanna be shot!

Allowing anybody to fire an Uzi without some skill and experience, especially fully automatic, is stupid. They may not have the larger recoil of something in .30 caliber, but they are a short, small, slippery gun and controllability is NOT a strong point.


The responsibility begins and ends with the parents, The End.



Now, I have to throw in my comments and opinion about the video link.
Here's the first thing you see in the title;

Christopher Bizilj's Death
KILLED FIRING AN UZI • The laws must change
October 29, 2008

Oh my God!!!
The sky is falling!!!
The laws must change!

You haven't heard or read a single fact yet, but by golly - some smart person decided for you that the laws must change. This sh!t isn't news, it's propaganda.

Then you click on the link to be entertained with a flashy graphic touting Connecticut Network and its immediate assertion that Government by the people starts here.
This is followed by their logo with the phrase "Your state, your government, your network" attached.

Watching the video, think about how long the story is - and how much is actually discussing facts.
The TV producers gotta skip thru the facts and get straight to the Oprah Winfrey bullsh!t about how it makes us feel.
Oh, the horror. Oh, the tragedy. Oh, where are our lawmakers?
Yeah, think about it....


Now, let's look at the text accompanying the video and some of the Chicken Little bleeding heart bullsh!t we've come to expect from the news media.
Text like;

"If the law allows an 8-year-old boy to fire a machine gun, then the law must be changed."
This is knee-jerk Liberalism defined. Stupidity of a parent will NEVER be illegal.
We do NOT need to add to the 22,000 gun laws already on the books in this country.
I say we could probably come up with 22 laws TOTAL that would cover anything the stupidest or smartest criminal could dream up, then we could start enforcing them - instead of more creeping Socialism.


"The death of Christopher Bizilj of Ashford is a heart-rending tragedy and an outrage that may expose a horrific flaw in Massachusetts law."
Again, it's a tragedy for sure. The parent fxcked up. It's a done deal.
The real tragedy is millions of Americans believe we need more and more laws to replace the laws that don't work or are never enforced.
Here's a law I would like to see passed - make the gov't ENFORCE every single law now on the books.
They should simply remove the ones they never bother with....


"Massachusetts law allows children under 15 to fire a rifle or shotgun with their parents' consent, but experts are arguing over whether assault weapons are allowed."
Here's where it gets sticky.
Somebody, anybody, PLEASE define the term "assault weapon" for me once and for all.
In New England, Maryland, Illinois, and California a slingshot is considered an "assault weapon."


"Clearly, Sunday's tragedy proved the madness of letting an 8-year-old boy handle a loaded automatic weapon on his own."
I agree.
So, again boys and girls, who fxcked up here?
His father.
The price he paid is enormous, and it will never end for him.
What would a court presume to do to him for "punishment" now?
If he is indeed punished, it will be done only to make the public feel better.
You're not gonna hurt that man anymore now.


"If the law doesn't prohibit it, the law should."
That's right!
Government by the people starts here.
Now, let's cry and whine until the gov't passes more stupid laws removing our personal Liberty and the accountability that goes along with it.

My God, I'm surrounded by idiots...
