You seem to be the only panty-waist in this thread obsessed with testosterone levels. Gee, what might that tell us about **Kable the Ball-less Wonder**? ---

[5 year old shoots and kills 2 year old sister with gun he received for his birthday.](http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/01/us/kentucky-accidential-shooting/) Stupid, tragic, and totally senseless, but what really gets my goat is the grandmother’s response: > [@](#): > > Riddle said she is devastated, but comforted knowing that her granddaughter is in a better place. > > “It was God’s will. It was her time to go, I guess,” she told WLEX. “I just know she’s in heaven right now and I know she’s in good hands with the Lord.” No! You stupid fucking redneck moron! Nobody’s “time to go” is when they’re 2 years old! What the fuck is wrong with you? Why the fuck would you put a deadly weapon in the hands of someone who, at that age, cannot possibly have fully developed motor skills, let alone levels of reasoning, and call it your granddaughter’s “time to go”? You and your moronic family caused this to happen, not God. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > You mock, but I have heard this _exact same argument_ while I was visiting rural Washington State. I’m not mocking. I’ve seen that argument many times, including here on this board. Despite **DA** ’s protestations, gun lickers routinely oppose any sort of education or licensing requirements. > [@](#): > > It seems the actual solution to gun accidents is not education. Guess what it is? > > More guns. I shit you not. Well, duh. If you’re about to get shot accidentally, just use your super-ninja skillz to pull out your gun and shot the bullets out of the air. Really, if you don’t carry several guns everywhere you’re just throwing your life away. Why do you hate life? ---

> [@YogSosoth](#): > > I admire your tenacity in trying to derail this thread into one of penises To be fair, Kable isn’t the one that started to throw around the notion of guns as penis substitutes. Gun manufacturers market guns the same way that any manufacturer with a largely male consumer base markets things. See beer, sports cars, and guns. There’s usually a pretty girl or something that appeals to your masculinity (see Dr. Pepper 10calorie spoof). Its not like there aren’t real advertisements penis enlargers, etc. now guns are all penis enhancements too? So if Kable responds by saying that all anti-gun folks don’t have the balls to carry a gun he’s just giving you back what you’re dishing out and some on your side are shocked… just shocked I tell you. ---

Just to follow on from my last post, do a Google search on “gun show” and look at ANY of the photos that come up. I mean, what a majestic display of ubermanly specimens. Biceps bulging, testosterone flowing. These guys look like the result if SEALs had sex with the Delta Force and had kids, and those kids grew up and had sex with Green Berets, and their kids grew up and ate some Rangers. A fearsome display indeed! They should all proudly wear the title “Manly McBeefington.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-gun-news-of-the-day-part-1/648729.md?page=174) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-gun-news-of-the-day-part-1/648729.md?page=176)
