By now pretty much everyone has read the story of the 5-year-old who shot his 2-year-old sister to death.

In southern Kentucky, where children get their first guns even before they start first grade, Stephanie Sparks paid little attention as her 5-year-old son, Kristian, played with the rifle he was given last year. Then, as she stepped onto the front porch while cleaning the kitchen, “she heard the gun go off,” a coroner said.

In Tuesday’s horrific accident that shocked a rural area far removed from the national debate over gun control, the boy had killed his 2-year-old sister, Caroline, with a single shot to the chest.

So let’s count the errors.

1. Leaving a real firearm unsecured where children might get it
2. Knowingly allowing a child to play with a real firearm
3. Failing to teach proper gun safety to a child in a home with guns
4. Leaving ammo laying around.
5. Every single one of the 4 Rules.

It’s a tragedy. It’s not technically an “accident,” but you can’t prosecute a 5 year old for it. He didn’t know better, so he can’t be held responsible. Here in North Carolina, the parents could be charged with a Class 1 Misdemeanor. Not that they’d get any real serious punishment. 45 days probation and a fine for a first offense, max, but are you really going to drag the grieving parents through the courts?

• This is your official language warning. If naughty words bother you, go read something else.

Here’s what bothers me about the story. The fuckheads on Twitter screaming bloody murder about the accidental death of a child none of them knew and none of them actually cared about before she became a prop in their political morality play.

Newsflash assholes: You aren’t fooling anyone with your crocodile tears. Tearing your hair and rending your garments while wailing might look cool in a movie, but you look really stupid when you do it over a child you’ve never even heard of before today.

Here’s what’s really going on. You assholes are pretending to care about this girl’s death so that you can use it to push for stricter gun control laws. You are using this girl’s death as a weapon to attack the gun company that makes the Crickett rifle (Warning, ThinkProgress) her brother was playing with. You don’t give a shit that tens of thousands (at least!) of these rifles have been sold to parents all across the USA. You don’t give a shit that these tens of thousands of rifles are used safely to teach children and small adults to shoot.

No, the only reason you give a shit at all about this poor little girl from a gun owning family in a flyover state is because you think you can use her death to advance your political agenda. At some point, when you were down on your knees scooping her blood up in your hands so you could grease the skids for more gun control, you should have seriously questioned your humanity.

The fact that you didn’t tells me you don’t have any left.

And what the fuck is it with all the Australian #GunControl fanatics on Twitter? Go the fuck back to your own country. If you want to cheer your masters for taking away your rights, go ahead. But don’t expect me to celebrate with you. And you better damn well not expect me to give up my rights to be just like you pussies.

I swear, half the gun hating assholes on Twitter are from Australia. It’s bad enough that if I were rich I’d fund an Australian version of GOA just to fuck with them.

I’ve had it about up to my eyeballs with the Sandy Hook Parents. We try to be nice to you people since your child was murdered. We recognize that it’s a little hard to be objective, or even rational, when you’re dealing with something like that. But it’s gone too far.

They don’t try to sound like wonks or pundits or operatives. They just tell their heart-breaking stories, weaving in a demand for action that is respectful but forceful. As a result, senators respond to them as bereaved parents, not advocates.

“These are smart, articulate people, who don’t have a scintilla of Washington about them,” said Matt Bennett of the centrist Democratic group Third Way, which has been helping the families navigate D.C. “But they virtually cannot be denied a meeting. There are not many groups of people that can get a meeting with any senator they want, whenever they want.”

It doesn’t matter how smart, articulate, warm, and bereaved you are when you are asking to demolish my civil rights. At a certain point it’s time to stand up to you directly, and forcefully, to back off.

Get away from my rights. I don’t care how bad it hurts that your child got murdered. I didn’t do it, so leave me alone. Your children were murdered by a crazy person who broke so many laws that it looked like he was going for a high score in the Lawbreaking Olympics. I know that you are in pain, but you can’t take your rage at the killer and use it to attack me.

Then there’s this girl, Jillian Soto, sister of a Sandy Hook teacher killed. She seems prepped to become her generation’s Joan Peterson.

No. Something does NOT need to get done. You aren’t getting my rifle. You aren’t getting my standard capacity magazines. If you think the horror of Sandy Hook was bad, think about what a civil war would look like. Because if you try to take our rifles, we will fight. My rights don’t dissolve when you smear your sister’s blood over them.

I’m going to be called “uncivil.” That’s how the Left deals with everyone who doesn’t submit to their emotional blackmail. Well fuck them. I’m going to stick to the truth. And the truth is that I have a right to defend myself. I have a right to keep and bear arms to defend myself. And that right to keep and bear arms includes the right to own an AR15 rifle. And if you come to take away my rights, I will fight. And I won’t be alone.

It would be better for all concerned if you would go home, grieve for your murdered children, and leave the rest of us alone.

Warning: Language alert.

You have a “greater right?” How about you take that “greater right” print it on card stock, fold it until it’s all sharp corners and jam it up your ass. If you need help, let me know.

“To tell you the truth, Dave, we’re not worried about it,” John Grebert says. He is the executive director of the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police, a group that supported the new gun law in New York State.

But, he adds, “I think it’s pretty unfortunate that any business thinks they can bully us.”

Because people in law enforcement deal with criminals every days, Grebert thinks they have, “a greater right” to weapons, “to deal with potentially violent situations.” And Grebert says he’s confident police will still have access to the equipment they need “to get the job done right.”

Bully you? That’s pretty rich from a guy who supported stealing the rights of the millions of citizens of New York. It does open up a window on that sort of mindset. A private company refuses to do business with the government and this ass-clown calls it “bullying.”

Is it any wonder that so many people have a crappy attitude towards police? When people like this make asinine public statements, you can hardly blame people for hating them.

HT: Captains Journal who is entirely too polite with his comments, if you ask me.

We interrupt the normal gun news to bring you a special Public Service Announcement.

Do not, under any circumstances, watch the movie, “After Fall, Winter.”

 It sounded like it could have been cool. Kinky, certainly, but interesting. Unfortunately it turned out so badly that not even hot naked French chick could rescue it.

It was awful. I will do my utmost to avoid ever seeing anything by writer, director, actor Eric Schaeffer ever again. It was so bad that I am not sure I could ever see anything with the hot naked French chick, Lizzie Brocheré, without remembering how terrible this movie is.

Avoid it like the plague.

I just don’t have the patience to deal with self-centered assholes. (Language warning, obviously)

Jeers to Hoke County Animal Control. A dog was hit on U.S. 401 Business but was still breathing and whimpering. Animal Control was contacted. I sat and soothed the dog while they were on their way.

The officer who showed up was very rude and inhumane. He was going to shoot the poor dog on the side of the road in public view. He did not take into consideration the safety of others or that animal lovers like myself or a small child could have seen this.

Here’s the response this tool would have received from Sean, Public Information Officer-at-Large.

Dear Self-Centered Asshole,

Toughen up, Buttercup. While you were whining on the side of the road, trying to prove your “compassion,” our animal control officer was trying to keep the poor animal from suffering any longer. You see, our animal control officer actually loves animals. He took this job because there were assholes in this world who, out of meanness or plain self centeredness, would treat animals like shit. Some assholes beat or starve their dogs. Others are so horrified by death that they’d rather force an animal to endure another hour of suffering as well as a bumpy truck ride just so that they don’t have to actually see the dog be put out of his misery.

Do you see what I’m getting at here? That dog suffered. It suffered miserably. It had broken bones, was bleeding, and suffered terrible internal injuries. If it had a voice and could ask for what it needed, it would have asked you to end its suffering immediately. Instead, what it got was hauled off the pavement, shoved in a metal box, and bounced down the street on its way to the shelter where the animal control officer was finally able to do his sad duty away from the eyes of “animal lovers” like you and any small children who might have been present.

Good job, dickhead. If you want to know who the asshole was in this situation, find a mirror and take a good long look. That’s the asshole who denied the poor suffering creature release from his pain. That’s the asshole who condemned the poor animal to a final painful ride to the shelter for the exact same outcome. The dog is dead. He was going to be dead either way. Instead of ending up dead immediately, you made sure he suffered another hour before he died. I pray that you are not treated the same way.

It all comes down to your selfishness. Your squeamishness cost that animal an hour of suffering. Instead of thinking of what was best for the animal, you demanded that your suffering be minimized and damn the cost to the dog. You gave our animal control officer a ration of shit because he was trying to do his job. He had to perform the most soul destroyingly painful part of our job, taking the life of an animal in his care, and you were such a baby about it that you made the whole situation worse. 

I’ll tell you what he was much to polite to tell you. Fuck you, Chris Gales of Raeford, NC. Fuck you. You had a chance to assist an animal and instead of thinking of that animal you thought only of yourself. Your first question to the animal control officer should have been “Can he be saved?” When you got told no, your second question should have been, “How can I help you end his suffering?” Then you should have done exactly as I did, many years ago and carried the dog to a safe location so that the animal control officer could carry out a final act of kindness for the poor creature. And you should have thanked him for it. You should have found it in yourself to tell that man, “Thank you for not making him suffer any longer.”

A man would have done these things. A man would have told any children nearby that putting the dog down immediately was an act of kindness. A man would have held those children and cried with them if he had to, but a man would have made them see the truth. Maybe when one of these children grew up he would not act like such a selfish ass and cause another poor animal another hour of suffering just so he could avoid dealing with reality.

But you, sir, are no man. You proved that with your actions. You proved that with how you treated the injured dog. You proved that by how you treated our animal control officer. And you proved it again when you penned your whiny letter.

Go away sir. Grownups are working.

Signed,
