Five year old boy shot and killed his two-year-old sister with his favorite birthday present ever – a rifle.

Here's another post from guest blogger Cathi Peyton Erman. She’s one of my favorite Twitter, Facebook, and Sulia pals, is a lifelong Baptist Christian who is Pro-Life, Pro-Gun and Pro-Death penalty.  She is also president of the Tea Party Patriots Intelligence Brigade.  Her political idol is George W. Bush and her religious idol is Rev. Pat Robertson.  She proudly receives her information from Fox’s News and also follows Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.

But oddly, per her Sulia page, she’s a “Progressive, liberal Socialist Democrat who tries to find some humor  in the brain numbing Republican party.” Go figure.

This one is the perfect sequel to one I recently put up, Baby’s First Gun: “My 4 1/2 year old daughter thought the ‘pink one’ was far superior…”

I am sure many of you have already read the article about the five year old boy who shot and killed his two-year-old sister with his favorite birthday present ever – a rifle.  I repeat.  A five-year-old.  A rifle.

The full article is here.

So, the sheriff called it “a crazy accident”.  Really?  REALLY?  This incident, including the sheriff’s statement, is so wrong on so many levels.

Let’s see:  A five-year-old child was given a “Beginner Rifle” as a birthday present.  He was allowed to play with it on a whim.  As he is “playing” with his new, best “toy” ever, he shoots and kills his two-year-old sister.

The mother of these children was present in the home at the time.  The responding sheriff called it one of those “crazy accidents”.

I think we all can dissect these circumstances and see that this was no “accident”.  To me, these parents should be arrested and charged with negligent homicide and child endangerment.  They should also be sent to a psychiatric facility and lose custody of their children.  That’s not all I think they deserve, but I will keep that to myself.

We have been reading so many of these tragic and preventable shootings, they seem almost commonplace.

Where is the outrage?  Why are we not marching on Washington, D.C.?

Sadly, the recent story of children being issued bulletproof backpacks doesn’t seem so crazy anymore.
