How convenient.

Saw the best comment about this yesterday on Twitter - someone pointed out their 8 year old son has been handling his own penis all of his life and still can’t hit the toilet bowl with any consistency, so why are we supposed to think a 9 year old can confidently handle an assault weapon of this magnitude?

I can no longer gauge what it’s going to take for the masses in the US to wake up. I really thought 20 dead elementary school kids would have done it, and I was wrong.

Yeah, and a 9 year old girl (hopefully) has no experience holding a penis

Staff at an Arizona gun range reportedly told investigators that the release forms signed by the family of a 9-year-old girl who accidentally killed her instructor with an Uzi last week were unavailable because they had been “blown away by the wind.”

This explanation somehow manages to be less plausible than “the dog ate my homework”.

It is possible the wind blew the papers away. It is possible the family took the papers.

Guns + fly by night operations + “But Ah Laaks t’Shoot!” = inviting tragedy in for tea.

So the gun range owners are hippies who are really into Bob Dylan? Never would have guessed it.

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind…

That sounds expensive.

Looks like a little girl’s family just got themselves a (sort of) free gunsturbation range.

It’s not so much the masses, J.J. as it is the people sitting in Congress and the state legislatures. A majority of Americans support stronger gun safety measures, but the NRA currently owns the legislators. And the current Supreme Court is no help, either.

Shut 'em down? That would be tyranny! It would certainly constitute an infringing, and the God-given Second Amendment specifically prohibits that.

No, the only solution to this issue is to give every 9 year old a fully automatic weapon.

There was a beauty salon in a nearby town that also sold weapons until the law found out the owner’s husband had no Federal Firearms License and on top of that was actually a convicted felon. Their slogan was: “Where Beauty and Bullets Collide.”

The gun nuts seem to have their share of criminals.

And it is possible that I will win a mega-millions lottery, but the chances are pretty slim.

If either of those things happened, the range is guilty of negligence in the keeping of its paperwork.
