Open Carry Dude Assaults Wife, Kills Two Sons, Keeps Second Amendment Safe

Nothing funny to say. The boys were three and four years old when their dad killed them.

In what would, in a sane nation, be a national outrage, a responsible lover of the Second Amendment murdered his two little boys, aged three and four, before turning the gun on himself and not quite managing to commit suicide. In a sane nation, there might also be something shocking about this being the second time since December that a vocal open-carry advocate has shot family members to death. But we live in America, so it’s just one more story that we’ll read, shake our heads at, and perhaps wonder if it’s ever going to be time to talk about guns.



No. It is never going to be time to talk about guns. They are our national fetish item. They are America. If you speak ill of guns you’re a fool, a Nazi, a tool of the government that wants to take all the guns away, or worse, far worse, a wimp. Also you’re pretty ghoulish to politicize the tragic deaths of two little boys — too young to have even started kindergarten, for Christ’s sake — by turning their deaths into fodder for yet another ineffectual call for maybe some common sense talk about guns. Because freedom isn’t free, and a man needs a gun to protect his family. Who’ll protect his family from the man with the gun? Shut up, you gun-grabber. You’re just playing to emotions instead of recognizing the fact that guns save lives. Except when they don’t.

Let’s back up and get at the details: The boys, Josiah Fuller, 3, and Uriah Fuller, 4, were shot to death at around 3 in the morning by their father, Shawn Fuller, 31, in Statesville, North Carolina, following a domestic disturbance from which Fuller’s wife, whose name hasn’t been released, escaped. According to a neighbor, Fuller regularly fired guns at milk jugs, cans, and trees in his backyard, often while drinking alcohol. The call to the Iredell County Sheriff’s office reported a “domestic incident” at the home; the caller “said a man at the home was firing a gun and was intoxicated.” A report released Monday by the sheriff’s office said that after shooting his kids, Fuller had been on the phone with an unidentified person who said that Fuller had admitted shooting his sons and had also threatened to kill law enforcement officers, but by the time they arrived, Fuller had shot himself. He’s currently in critical condition at a hospital.

The afternoon before the shootings, Fuller had taken Uriah and Josiah shopping, with his gun strapped to his waist, as was apparently his habit. He made a point of telling the clerk at the store that he “wouldn’t shop anywhere he couldn’t bring his gun,” according to another shopper, Kelli Simko, who played with the boys while Fuller shopped for “something for his wife.” He apparently made several comments about the need to carry a gun at all times, and also mentioned that he’d enrolled his boys in self-defense classed because of what a wicked world we live in today. “He said how you can’t even walk into a movie theater anymore,” she said.
