Kentucky 5-year-old gets rifle as gift and shoots 2-year-old sister dead

Read this last night. Who gives a 5 year old a rifle as a gift and then leaves him to play with it loaded? The parents need to be jailed. Not only did they cause the death of a little girl, but they more than likely have ruined their son with guilt for the rest of his life.
 
Saw this yesterday. The coroner calls it a "crazy accident." What an utter load of homespun bullshit. Putting a gun in a child's hands is an accident waiting to happen. Christ, it's bad enough in some adult hands and you're giving one- a fucking loaded one- to a 5 year old??

ETA: Shit. Posted almost at the same time, same sentiment, and same length as jamesda. I better look both ways crossing the street.

Unbelievable.
 
his parents didn't want to infringe on his 2nd amendment rights
 
The state should remove the boy from his parents custody and both charged with criminal negligence.
 
In response to this news story on Facebook, a notable former Scout poster deadpanned, "the only way to stop a 5 year old with a gun is another 5 year old with a gun".
 
I was originally going to claim natural selection here, but true natural selection would've had the kid shooting and killing the parents for being retarded.
