8 year old accidently shoots himself with an Uzi

Again, you show your idiocy of thinking that just because the man
is a doctor and a man of letters he is not an idiot.

A idiot does what he did, regardless of his education and standing
in the community. I don't expect you to understand that with
your narrow mindedness.

Foolishness does not have the same meaning as fool. Even you can't be that foolish David.

If he had been an idiot, he 'd not even have been able
to pass a driver 's license test, let alone all of the complex
anatomy n biochemistry, etc.; very clearly, he is THE OPPOSITE
of an idiot.

I wish that u had addressed the cinematic aspects
of my post; do u revel in the vulnerability of the good-guy victim,
rooting for the evil homicidal monster, Richard ?

Why don't you just stop reading this thread if you do not care for the drift in the subject matter?

I must say Intrepid has more stamina in taking on you & the rest of your ilk here than I ever could have. At some point I make a decision that continuing to respond in such circumstances is a total waste of time (within the context of a particular thread, not for a minute believing that persistant illogical "arguments" win the day ... or the hearts & minds of anyone.)

Fine. Arguing with an idiot
over the meaning and use of the word idiot is idiotic.

I take it that u just accused me
of being an idiot; i.e., that I 'm lucky if I have the intellect
to find my way to the bathroom. If a person is ABLE
to argue (however poorly), then I think that proves
that he is not an idiot. Again, it appears that u have corrupted
the definition of "idiot" to mean whoever disagrees with u.

Do you agree that the father, the doctor who was smart enough to pass
a simple drivers test was irresponsible in letting his 8 year old son
handle and fire a weapon that could clearly have the capacity to kill him? Which it did!

No, but he shoud have made sure that the boy understood
what he was supposed to do, specificly that he shoud not bend
his elbows when it recoils. It was not irresponsible to take him
for gunnery practice, which was probably a lot safer than going
swimming or riding a bike, judging by how many kids have been
killed in those practices. I already TOLD u that in my childhood,
I went for gunnery practice many times; I loved it.
I am grateful to my nextdoor neighbor who drove us to his
military fort where we shot many different guns, including
a lot of differnet submachineguns (not Uzis, because thay had not
yet been invented). The picture accompanying this story SHOWS
a young boy firing another submachinegun, with no ill effects.
During my life, I have seen hundreds of young boys
using submachineguns, with not the SLIGHTEST trouble.

Because ONE kid screws up YOU want to ruin it for ALL KIDS
who did it CORRECTLY. As a retired trial attorney,
I assure u that many, many adults and children have been killed
by trips or slips on floors, or walking down the street over the years.

I don t wish to have any children, but if I ever have one,
I will INVITE him to go for gunnery practice,
hopefully including the joys of submachineguns,
that I loved so much.
I 'd see to it that he receives the proper safety instructions
the same as if he goes biking or swimming.

U r simply trying to exploit this ONE, single accident
to ruin it for all kids, while ignoring much greater sources of death,
which do not offend u. U give children good reason to resent u.

Even the more sane people such as my wonderful self have given our positions many time over by now.

Intrepid does not for some reason complain of posts that contain nothing but insults only posts that he feel are off tropic and that I find somewhat strange if he still think that all that needed to had been said on the narrow subject had not already been said.

And if you subdivide gun deaths to those that occur on gun ranges you would find a number so low that it would be declare one of the safety places to be in this or any other society.

Given the above safety record of gun ranges if a freak death of a child does occur there is no reason I can see to view it in any difference light then a freak death of a child mowing a lawn for example should be view.

That my friend is the sane way of looking at this sad event.

Silly rabbi,
the occurence of freak accidents is no reason to troll for them. Thats the really sane way to look at it.
