And It Just Keeps Happening

Another baby with a gun for Rep. Steve Stockman’s ghoulish line of bumper stickers:

An 11-year-old boy from southwestern Illinois was fatally shot — on accident — by a 6-year-old friend, authorities said Wednesday.

Belleville police spokesman Mark Heffernan said the shooting happened around 11 p.m. Tuesday at a home during a family barbecue, according to the (Belleville) News-Democrat (http://bit.ly/16JdReo ). He said that three children, including the victim, were alone upstairs in a home while adults were downstairs. [...]

An autopsy conducted Wednesday showed he died from a single gunshot wound to the head.

But you know, the Second Amendment mandates that nothing is to be done about law-abiding gun owners, even after they’re utterly irresponsible with their so-called constitutional rights.
