The bullet didn't kill him; the kickback from the firing of the 
bullet did.  The grenade comparison doesn't work.

If comparison had to be made, it would be, say, driving a snowmobile 
and having the thing over turn on the kid.

Maybe they were just stupid.  What in the article suggested they 
were "rednecks"...the fact that they were using guns in the first 
place?

H.

Your hero, Dr. Paul, is all for gun ownership and against gun 
control.  Dr. Paul is all for proper training in the use of guns, 
something that these people obviously could have had a little more 
training in.

That is child abuse and molestation. They should all be in jail for that. Let's 
give a kid a grenade and teach him to wait 3 seconds then throw. Stupid 
rednecks. What's wrong with kids shooting little pellet guns at balloons at the 
fair for a goldfish. They have just as much fun.
