AK-47s Hit Homes

Recreational assault weapons fire riddles Ohio home, narrowly misses officer | The Raw Story
Two men were arrested in Ohio on Wednesday after their target practice with an AK-47 assault rifle accidentally shot up a woman’s home and nearly hit a officer who was responding to reports of gunfire...
Ah yes, "a well regulated militia."

We keep doing the same things over and over again!
In June 1987: at Carowinds Theme park in Charlotte, NC, 2 girls were shot while swimming in a wave pool by a man target shooting a half mile away. One girl, 16 years old was killed, the other, 6 years old was struck in the abdomen and survived. The alleged shooter was using an AK-47 and firing at wooden home-made targets, He only fired his weapon 15 times, yet two of the rounds went wild and traveled in an arc over half a mile and hit the victims, causing a panic at the amusement park. The police passed ordinances barring discharging firearms within a 3 mile radius of any home or business within city limits.
