According to this AP story, a young boy accidentally killed himself yesterday at a gun show in Massachusetts yesterday.

With an instructor watching, an 8-year-old boy at a gun fair aimed an Uzi at a pumpkin and pulled the trigger as his dad reached for a camera.

It was his first time shooting a fully automatic machine gun, and the recoil of the weapon was too much for him. He lost control and fatally shot himself in the head.

So I have a couple of questions:

1. What kind of father takes his 8-year-old son to a gun show?
2. Retard father aside, what idiot hands a loaded Uzi to an 8-year-old?
3. Why do gun shows even exist?

I feel bad for any father who sees his son die like that, and I know this sounds harsh, but deep down he must know that it’s his fault.
