The Equalizer

Only in America can the four-&-under set be as dangerous as people five times their size. Here are four youth who have been gun-empowered & will not be taking any more crap from anybody:
  • A Tennessee woman was shot in the stomach by her 2-year-old child on Sunday. Rekia Kid was sleeping with the toddler and her three-week-old baby when the toddler discovered a Glock 9 mm stored underneath her pillow and discharged the weapon. Kid managed to get out of the house and crawl to a neighbor’s porch where she was found by the neighbor, who told local news “[s]he just kept screaming that she didn’t think she was going to make it, she didn’t think she was going to make it and to please please take care of my children.”

  • Josephine G. Fanning was shot and killed Saturday at a Tennessee barbecue when a 4-year-old boy discharged a handgun owned by Fanning’s husband, Sheriff’s Deputy Daniel Fanning. Fanning had left the loaded gun “for just a moment” on the bed while he went to retrieve another weapon from a locked gun cabinet.

  • A 6-year-old boy was accidentally shot by his 4-year-old playmate in a quiet residential New Jersey area yesterday. The victim later died of his wounds, with the victim’s uncle telling reporters covering the story “This never should have happened. It’s horrible.”

  • A 3-year-old died of an accidental self-inflicted gun wound in South Carolina on Tuesday according after finding a gun in an apartment and discharging the weapon. No further details have been released at this time.
  • Good start. Soon as they start hitting the right targets more often than themselves/each other we'll see freedom & equality extended to all Americans.

    It wasn't an accident.

    Handgun Editor:
    There are no accidents. Or is that coincidences?

    Just noticed that you already linked the deputy's wife case. See?

    What kind of idiot hides a loaded gun under their pillow? Think of the tooth fairy!

    Amused Editor:
    That made us make audible noises; then we remembered we've quite a collection for the fairy in a pill bottle.
