Comments on The Whole World's Laughing

I look forward to the first of your "Every Child Needs a Mother and a Father" chronicles of neglect to have a happy ending featuring a toddler who defended himself with his legally-obtained firearm.

Guns don't kill people, babies do!

Finally, an American baby who doesn't embolden our enemies.

Give that baby a Quizno's!

Preschool Murder Rampage? YEE HAW!

Just think how different that breakdancing video above would have looked if the kid packed heat.

Yes, well, there's also this angle: http://www.startribune.com/462/story/1186120.html

The headline really captures it:

Blind man finds bias in denial of gun permit

A North Dakota man who says he would only use the gun for self-defense at close range couldn't get a permit in Moorhead.

Bubba has already picked off every rainbow and star on the mobile above his crib and Momma says she won't be feeding him any more strained peas after the showdown last Thursday.

What is great is when one of his fellow pre-schoolers goes on a murderous rampage Bubba will be able to stand up to them and stop it! (Unlike those "wimps" at VA Tech that just let themselves get shot) I am sure Fox News will be thrilled with Bubba getting a gun!

And I am getting the hell out of the country.......

Who named this baby "Bubba"?? There oughta be a law...

Bubba is just a nickname. According to The Smoking Gun (ahem), his birth certificate reads Baby Finster.

It says he has a permit, but nothing about him having a gun.

"Bubba's father, Howard Ludwig, applied on his behalf after his grandfather gave him a shotgun as an heirloom."

Funny, and sad. Here in the Bay Area, a FOUR YEAR OLD just shot and killed his father. There isn't much detail given other than it's presumably an accident. Gun law opponents, however, would likely argue that it wouldn't have happened if the four year old was trained an licensed.

"Hey Daddy?"

"Yo, Bubba, what up?"

"About that whole circumcision thing...you know, how you said you wanted me to "look like you" and "it doesn't hurt when they're babies"?"

"Yeah?"

*BLAM*BLAM*

Wait till that baby is 2.

They don't call it the Terrible Twos for nothing!

You know, having read the story, the scariest thing is that the father seems to be the sanest one involved (aside from naming his son Bubba, that is). He said that 1. He didn't expect the application to be accepted and 2. The actual gun is staying at Grandpa's until the kid is at least 14.

Ya know Doug, that was either a pathetic attempt at sarcasm, about what you can expect from an SF liberal (a political species rivaling the famed Orange County Conservative for sheer stupidity) or an attempt at a serious observation. Either way it's stupid and ignorant, about what I expect from the average liberal resident of San Francisco whose opinions of gun owners are every bit as informed as say, the opinions of the average conservative Christian about homosexuals. Personally I think the story is hilarious, think of it as evolution in action, and ya know what, if the kid had drank Drano, or fallen into a swimming pool or killed himself in any of the other interesting ways that kids do, instead of shooting his old man, the media never would have covered it and you never would have been able to use it as a focus for your bedwetting outrage. Wouldn't that have been terrible.

Oh, BTW Dan, aren't you from Illinois? Jesus, sounds like it's a state full of tards, I can see why you got the fuck out.
