Gun control aside, who takes an AK47 to a New Years eve party?
Amazing, the mind boggles!

"A FALLING bullet shot during New Year's Eve celebrations has
tragically killed a four-year-old boy."

"Ballistics expert Kelly Fite told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
newspaper that the bullet had most likely been fired from an AK-47
assault rifle and could have been fired as far as three to five
kilometres away."

Further evidence that Americans are just too stupid to be armed. I seem to
recall a similar story about 4 months ago, and another a few months before
that.

I don't think it's just Americans. Given that most people are capable
of behaving stupidly or with malice murder and accidents are inevitable.

If we had a similar gun culture here in the UK the death toll would
probably be as high, maybe higher with the greater population density,
i.e. you shoot a gun at random your are several times more likely to hit
someone.

Yanks always use the 'protection argument' how many people are killed by
members of their own family or by accident Vs robberies etc?

Wow, he hit a brightly coloured stationary object with a scoped rifle,
from ooooh, ten yards?

He doesn't claim to be a marksman, just a fun loving gun nut. Who
wouldn't love to blow up a Ford with an RPG, no matter how close the
shot?

By the way, you noticed, of course, that he was Australian and
this was filmed in Australia? I thought they had all kinds of ugly
anti-gun laws, apparently not.
