Where is Focus on the Family Now?

An 8 year-old child is taken to a gun show and shoots himself in the face with an Uzi submachine gun. Dad is right behind him, but unfortunately isn't hit. Christopher Bizilj, the child, is killed instantly.

Dad gets on the news shortly thereafter to talk about the upside - lots of support from relatives and friends. Family values at their best.

And the asshole Don Humason whose placard is placed so prominently at the front of this crime scene? He's a gun nut, too.

If a kid was accidentally killed during a gay cruise, with an Obama placard on deck, and then the kid's two mommies got on television within the hour to talk about it, neocons would be freaking out. They'd be the first ones on Fox News and every right-wing radio talk show in the country screaming about a lack of values that's destroying our children.

Why aren't we discussing the piss poor parents out there who put weapons in the hands of children and then act surprised when the outcome is tragic? Why don't we question the politicians who support them? Why don't we talk about the hypocrisy of groups that purport to put family first, but really are only trying to further a right-wing political agenda?

I know. We don't want to appear judgmental or act as ridiculous as they do.

Meanwhile another child is gone. And the submachine gun was pried from his cold, dead hands.
