:yep: That's what I was thinking.

As much as guns make me uneasy, I'm relatively OK with them being in the hands of responsible adults (August finally convincedme of that in the Creationist/T-Rex thread). But giving one to a child without supervision?! I saw footage of the NRA meet in Houston the other day, and a kid was firing a pistol, but his father or guardian was keeping a close eye on him. And then these parents give their young child A RIFLE?! And leave it unsupervised!? What's wrong with these people!? Now their son's going to have to grow up knowing that he killed his sister! It mightn't mean that much to him now, but it'll probably destroy him when he's older.
