    After reading comments from family and neighbors, there is no shortage of ignorance in the area. A 50 cal desert eagle at close range, unfortunately these two geniuses reproduced.

    Can we blame the camera for this one? Or YouTube?

    On a semi-related note did anyone see the story about the dad who was teaching his kids about gun safety and accidentally shot and killed his 9 year old daughter in front of his two sons? Darn near made me cry when they played his 911 call on the news. But man, the FIRST thing I was taught about gun safety was to never, ever, under any circumstances point the barrel of a gun - loaded or otherwise - at a person unless you intended to kill them. The second thing I was taught is never, under any circumstances, pull the trigger of the gun unless it was aimed at a target that I was intending to shoot. How you can be teaching your three kids about gun safety and make such a horrible mistake is beyond me.

    I think we can blame the idiots for their insatiable need to shoot video and put it on youtube so they can be "famous"

    I can't believe they used a desert eagle! Even if the bullet hadn't traveled through the book it could have killed that scrawny runt just from blunt force to the chest. Dumb kids....

    Just proves survival of the fittest still rings true even after humans have become masters of their domain. Anyone stupid enough to do something like that is lucky they lived to puberty.

    It amazes me how people dnt think the bullet will kill you. Accidents are one thing but stupidity is another. Ive got too many horror stories myself from family and friends with guns makes you not want to even go and wer with anyone with a gun.

    Not sure how the old saying goes, something like If there is a gun in the room I want to be the person holding it. I support gun rights but I don't think everybody should be able to buy a gun, then again I don't think everyone should be able to reproduce either but I guess you have to let nature takes it's course and let people remove themselves from the gene pool thru incidents like the one we are discussing, unfortunately this stool that took the 50 cal round to the chest spread his seed twice before he was removed.

    This is what happens when we do not let mother nature do the survival of the fittest thing--this is what we get

    I hope this pos gets the book thrown at him. I had read where the guy pointed the gun at both of his boys while "teaching" them, and pulling the trigger. Then his daughter walked in, he did the same thing, and then killed her.

    Yeah, I confirmed that with a friend of mine on the PD where this happened. Apparently he caught his sons playing with his gun when he wasn't home so he was yelling at them while pointing the gun at them and pulling the trigger as it was unloaded. At some point he loaded the gun and when his daughter walked in he started doing the same to her. Pointed the gun at her head and pulled the trigger having forgotten he loaded the gun.

    Makes my stomach turn just thinking about it.

    I own a DE 5.0 and I'm surprised the girl could even shoot it let alone hit the book.

    And why not try the stunt with a 22 first?

    This "look at Me" mentality.
