Children on Easter egg hunt find guns instead

Sunday, April 11, 2004 Posted: 11:03 AM EDT (1503 GMT)

FLINT, Michigan (AP) -- -- A group of children hunting for Easter eggs Saturday during a church event found two loaded handguns outside an elementary school.

Flint police said officers were called to the scene and also recovered a BB gun and a broken toy gun on the grounds of Gundry Elementary School. No one was injured, Sgt. Michael Coote said.

One of the guns discharged when it was dropped, according to a police report, but it was unclear who dropped it.

The pastor of Ruth Street Baptist Church told WJRT-TV that one of the handguns had a bullet in the chamber, and the other handgun's clip had bullets in it.

"It's terrible that something like this has happened," Pastor Namon Marshall told the station.

Coote said he did not know how long the guns had been in the park.

Police opened an investigation after confiscating the weapons.

Now, our children can go outside in America and not worry about such threats to freedom as guns lying around. This is what the War on Terrorism is all about- every 'military' target we turn into glass in Iraq removes one handgun from an Easter Egg hunt somewhere in America, making our world safer, one day at a time.

Kids screwing around with BB guns, and leave them outside. I would remember to pick up after myself.

I guess they get what they paid for by giving the school such a name... :lol:

Shit, we've gotta do something about this, and quick. Maybe set up some protests, some public awareness campaigns...

...we simply cannot go on tolerating the infiltration of homosexual Satan-lovers into the GOD-fearing city of San Francisco! :P

Can we enter this thread in the Grand National Sarcasm Championship or something? This is such a beautiful team effort here. T'would be a pity to let it go unrecognized... :D

This is getting ridiculous. Moral of the story, if you're doing an Easter Egg hunt in Flint Michigan, expect to find a gun- just like you'd expect to find a Swede in Sweden.

Lock, please.

Get me a French girl and we'll test this assertion.

And we'll keep testing until we prove you right, goddamnit!
