Illinois baby obtains gun permit

Bubba Ludwig may only be 10 months old, but he has already successfully obtained a gun licence in the US state of Illinois.

Bubba's father, Howard Ludwig, applied on his behalf after his grandfather gave him a shotgun as an heirloom.

Mr Ludwig said he had not expected to succeed, but he filled in the online form, paid $5 and the licence was his.

You Americans.

BWAH! That's so fitting in so many ways. My country both scares and amuses me.

Somehow I'm not really surprised.

The scariest part is where the father feels the need to reassure the reporter that he's not going to do anything *crazy* like giving the 10 month old baby the gun and sending it out on an *unsupervised* hunting party. Because if were *unsupervised*, that could lead to all sorts of trouble!

WTF!!

That in and of itself scares me. What a crazy old world.

I just love that the kids name is Bubba. Every once in a great while I realize that stereotypes exist for a reason. I think my next college paper will have to be on that subject. And I'll cite this article as a source *snerk*
