Another FATAL accident, because the parents aren’t watching, because there isn’t a STRICTER law on gun-control, here, in Taiwan, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
A twelve-year-old boy, Pan, from a tribe in Miaoli was playing with a hunting rifle that the tribesmen made, and shot the man, Feng, who was serving in the armed forces currently, who was his nephew, and, after the bullet passed through Feng’s left thoracic, and injured his own father’s back. And Pan’s father lied to the police about how he was ambushed by someone while he was walking across his mushroom plantation, the police thought he was not telling the whole truth, and, after they’d pushed him harder, they’d learned that it was his son who’d accidentally fired the gun.
Yesterday, the twelve-year-old child was charged with manslaughter, and sent to Miaoli Juvenile Court to process, after the judge reviewed the case, he’d turned the teenager over to his family; Feng’s father asked Pan’s father to buy a handmade rifle, but he didn’t have the permit to own one, the police will charge him with unlawful possessions of a dangerous weapon.
The Miaoli City Police received a call late two evenings ago at around eleven from the fire department, that in the mountain regions of Peng-Lai Village in Nanzhuang, there were two men who seemed to have been shot. The native army serviceman, Feng (age 20) had a through-and-through wound on his right thoracic, was losing a lot of blood, after the doctors tried to resuscitate him, he’d still died; another native, Pan (age 53) suffered a wound on his back, his life was saved after emergency surgery and resuscitation.
The officers interviewed Pan and the father of the deceased (age 39), the two of them were holding back. Pan claimed, that two nights ago, while he was making the rounds in his mushroom farm, he suspected that it was a tribesman from Tai-An County who’d shot at him, but, the police found, that Pan’s older sister was Feng’s father’s former mother-in-law, that they were, related, they believed, that the case wasn’t so open and shut, they’d counseled them for over an hour, then, out came, the truth.
The police found, that Feng’s father gave Pan a little over $12,000N.T. for him to buy a handmade rifle. Two nights ago, Feng’s father took along his son who’s currently in the army to Pan’s house, and made a date to hunt in the mountains. Before they left, Feng’s father, and Pan were holding conversations in the living room, while Feng and Pan’s son were playing with the rifle in the bedroom, Pan took the gun, and accidentally pulled the trigger, and, after the bullet exited the barrel, it’d passed through the right side of Feng’s chest, and hit Pan’s father’s left backside.
a child’s plea, but, is it, taken seriously enoguh, by the adults??? I don’t think so!!! Not my photo still…
The police went to Pan’s to get the evidence, and found the house already cleaned off, and discovered the handmade hunting rifle, about 150 meters away from his home. As Pan the child was lifted into the police station, he was still in shock, after the officers counseled with him, he’d admitted to firing the rifle, that he didn’t mean to hurt anybody.
And you still believe, that it’s, okay, to keep a dangerous weapon like a RIFLE or a HANDGUN at home? And, this gun is made of wood, very simple, but, it’s, just AS deadly compared to those rifles made in the factories, and you still want to “worship” the Second Amendment? And yeah, the parents should’ve been watching their children more carefully, so, it’s not really the gun’s fault, or the manufacturer’s, or even, the seller’s now, is it? Nope!
