The problem is the second category only represents about 2% of the world's population.

Idiocracy man. I tell ya. It's happening right in front of our eyes.

They interviewed another instructor from the range. He said they teach as young as 5 yr olds to shoot.

5yr olds.
i saw that.

because ya know, children have the right too ya know.
and it's great that all news outlets are reporting this as "An Accident". As in there was no way to prevent this from happening.

Just because something was preventable doesn't mean it wasn't an accident.

This happened at least once before with a similarly aged kid, except that time the kid died and the attendant was 14. How many times does this have to happen for people to learn? My local gun range has a limit of 8 for long guns, 12 for handguns, which seems reasonable. 8 or 9 year olds should be learning to shoot .22s, not automatics without even shoulder stocks.

bullshit. There were a lot of factors helping this situation to happen. None were accidental.

Well, "entire foreseeable, in fact almost likely, you fucking idiot parents" can still be an accident from the perspective of the little girl.

Don't even get me started on this.

I'm not for big government but part of me would support an infertility chip implanted into every newborn baby and then when that person becomes an adult they should have to pass some kind of test to get it shut off so they can procreate.

An international appeal was launched Friday to find a five-year-old boy with a brain tumor who was taken from a British hospital by his parents against the wishes of doctors. Ashya King, who was in a wheelchair and needs to be fed through a tube, was taken late Thursday from the hospital in Southampton, England where he had been a long term patient. His parents boarded a ferry to France with Ashya's six siblings, ITV News reported.

Police said the missing boy's health will "deteriorate rapidly" if he is not found and that his condition would become "life-threatening". The parents are Jehovah's Witnesses but police said their religion was “irrelevant” in the case, ITV News reported.

Teacher accidentially shoots self at school

Officials say a Utah teacher is in good condition after accidentally shooting herself in the leg with a concealed firearm in a faculty bathroom at the elementary school where she works.

Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley says the gun went off while the woman was in a faculty restroom shortly before class started Thursday at Westbrook Elementary School, in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville. The teacher was rushed to the hospital.

Horsley says no other faculty or students witnessed the shooting, but some heard the gunshot.

He says the the bullet entered and exited the teacher's leg.

Horsley wouldn't release further details about the woman, but he says she was carrying the weapon legally with a concealed firearm permit.

Utah law allows anyone with a concealed carry permit to wear a gun in a public school.
