yeh, probably

I fell off my skateboard once trying to imitate tony hawks pro skater, got a nasty bruise

Let's look at everything that's wrong with this:
1. Parents let the boy skip school
2. Parents leave the boy home alone
3. Parents leave a weapon easily accessible to the boy
4. Parents let the boy playe a Rated M(?) video game

So who's fault is this really? The games fault or parents? It's ridiculous at what people will do to avoid taking responsibility.

Of course halo is to blame for this. Not the parents, no way. :D

You must be a liberal... I got my first rifle when I was 8 yrs old, but I was taught how to use and respect it... and there was never any doubt that I was not "playing" with guns. His parents should be shot in the f&cking head to get the point across.

How did this happen? The story made no sense He held the gun backwards or something? Can someone help me?

The parents will be going to jail. It was illegal for the child to have access to the rifle outside of adult supervised activities like hunting, according to Wisconsin law.

I don't need to comment on the rediculousness of the rest of that story, but I thought that would make everyone a little happier knowing the legalities of it all. There are multiple firearm violations broken by the parents that I'm sure they'll be jailed for, or at the very least, community serviced to death with.

Hey, I've pretty much become a liberal now (according to people on VGChartz) and I don't oppose gun ownership.  I love guns, and I think that parents should teach there kids about guns and if the kid is mentally capable, let them use it.

Umm. Can anyone explain to me how an 11 yr. old actually managed to shoot himself in the head with a RIFLE? This Get Smart Sherriff's office DOESEN'T suspect foul play? How the Hell can anyone believe that's real?
Sherriff's office = epic fail! Come On!!
