This is why you lock up your guns


A FOUR year old in Ohio got mad at his babysitter after he accidentally stepped on his foot and shot him with a pellet gun.

Witnesses told police the 4-year-old retrieved the shotgun from a bedroom closet and shot Beavers. Police said the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot.

Beavers was hospitalized with minor pellet wounds to his arm and side.

Wait, the four year old got mad, went into the closet and got a shotgun and shot his babysitter. I'm not sure what's worse, that the four year old thought that what you do when you're mad at someone is to shoot them or that he was able to go into a closet and get a shotgun by himself.

Gun locks people!

No light sabers for kids

Woolworths department stores in the UK are refusing to sell light sabers to kids under eighteen years old because they apparently look too much like a real gun.

"Some companies are going the whole hog and are banning the sale of any weapon-style products to anyone under the age of 18, even if they are clearly toys like these," said Brandon Cook, who specializes in restricted sales issues for the Trading Standards Institute.

Really? How does a light saber look like a gun? Or a weapon at all. It doesn't even look like a sword or a knife.
