When the aim goes wrong
While my sympathies go out to the family of an eight year old boy in Massachusetts, some stories could only come out of a CNN generation. Over the weekend, the young man was fulfilling the sort of dream that I never had as boy; he was shooting an Uzi at “vehicles and pumpkins” during a regional fair. However, real guns don’t handle like the ones in the standard video game. There are less buttons on the controller and there’s something called recoil.
