"No man is an island" and all that...
Sadly, at times the penalty for getting drunk is death.
This looks like one of those times.

Kid shoots himself with pen gun. Now sheriff wants to see them outlawed.

I'm really not so sure about anyone who finds humor in this tragic case. A stupid, meaningless death -- but not "hilarious."
I don't blame the mother for saying (so soon after losing her son) that's she's going to make a cause of campaigning against pen-guns ...
Seems natural to me that most parents try to find some way to make their child's otherwise meaningless death mean something ... And no one wants to blame their child, the first instinct is to find something or someone else to blame.
She'll probably come around to understand that only her son is at fault for his own demise... If not, like Cindy Sheehan blaming Bush for her son's death, rather than blaming her son for volunteering during time of war, she'll only be preaching to her own choir and those persons capable of logical reasoning won't support her "movement."

It's amazing to me that there would be such an in depth and lengthy write up about this village idiot-

Wow, puts a loaded gun to his head and pulls the trigger not just once; but THREE times and this is worthy of the full-emotional tears write up from the local paper?
As to pen guns, if you are going to shoot at me, by all means do it with a single shot small-caliber weapon with no sights that must be folded like an origami swan before it can be used.

Sorry. I can't feel any sympathy for the deceased idiot or the parental units that passed on their stupid gene on to their off-spring.

I believe that this is the first
account of an accidental shooting that I've read where I didn't feel sorry for anyone involved.
Victim: Rap "artist." Calls himself "Pit." Owns a pen gun. Drinks. Shoots self.
Mother: Raised an idiot for a son. Wants to infringe on 2nd amendment rights because her dead son was stupid.
Sherrif: Typical politico JBT.

I understand there is a natural order to things. I understand part of which is Darwin-isms.
Okay, folks want to blame inanimate object for wrongs.
Outlawing, Banning seems to be the "media buzz words".
What if we Outlawed Idiots? There goes most of our elected folks...
<scratches chin>
That'd better than Tyranny - right?
Just cutting to the chase is all....

Well sure . . . that was next on his "To Do" list, but maybe he wanted to get some practice in first.

Last time I celebrated
I went to 2 casinos and came home with 100$, This whole "get drunk & shoot yourself in the head to celebrate" is totally new.
I am so glad I gave up drinking because I was celebrating something.
Sometimes a Sherrif will shoot drunk people too, lets ban Sherrifs!
