If you were a parent in Kentucky and didn't put your two-year-old in a proper car seat, and you were in an accident, and the child was killed, you would face punishment.
If you had a five-year-old who had access to loaded weapons, and that five-year-old killed his two-year-old sister, hey, these things happen. "I think it's nobody else's business but our town's," said a resident of Burkesville, Kentucky, where this actually occurred.
The rifle the five-year-old used is called a Crockett rifle. It is designed for children. Let me repeat that. It is designed for children.
A German cameraman who showed up in Burkesville to report the story was punched out. This is a Kentucky matter, not something that you and I should be concerned with.
"Sporting Arms," which makes "quality firearms for America's youth," must be proud. The N.R.A. must also be proud.
This information came from the New York Times, "Girl's Death by Gunshot Is Rejected As Symbol,: May 6, 2013, p. A10.
I would think Wayne Lapiere would say "The only thing that stops a bad five year old with a gun is a good two year old girl with a gun".
