I Hope Eternal Hellfire Just Ripped Charlton Heston a New Asshole

This is messed up. Inexcusable. Depressing. Unbelievable. And it pisses me off to no end.

An 8-year-old boy died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while firing an Uzi submachine gun under adult supervision at a gun fair.

The boy lost control of the weapon while firing it Sunday at the Machine Gun Shoot and Firearms Expo at the Westfield Sportsman's Club, police Lt. Lawrence Vallierpratte said.

Police said the boy, Christopher Bizilj (Bah-SEAL) of Ashford, Conn., was with a certified instructor and called the death a "self-inflicted accidental shooting."

As the boy fired the Uzi, "the front end of the weapon went up with the backfire and he ended up receiving a round in his head," police Lt. Hipolito Nunez said. The boy died at a hospital.

Is this what the fucking gun nuts are all about? Letting 8-year-olds fire Uzis? That's your Second Amendment rights, assholes. An 8-year-old dead. By Uzi. Sons of bitches.

And you wanna know the sick irony of this? According to WaPo, "Gun purchases have also been climbing because of the worsening economy, which fuels fears of crime and civil disorder, industry sources and specialists said."
