Sometimes, You've Just Got to Scratch Your Head and Wonder

A soccer mum who gained notoriety for openly carrying a loaded pistol to youth sports events has been fatally shot by her husband as she video-chatted with a friend.

Scott Hain, 33, used his own gun to fire several shots into his wife, Meleanie, 30, while her video chat was active, police said. Scott Hain later killed himself in an upstairs bedroom.

Meleanie Hain became a voice of the gun rights movement last year when she fought for the right to carry a holstered pistol at her young daughter's soccer games. Other parents complained, (Ed note - gosh, there's a surprise) prompting a sheriff to revoke her concealed-weapons permit, a decision a judge later overturned.

The Hains later sued the sheriff who had revoked her open-weapons permit. The $AUD1.1 million suit, which claims they suffered emotional distress and lost customers for her home baby-sitting service, remains pending.

"I'm just a soccer mom who has always openly carried a firearm, and I've never had a problem before," Hain said last year. "I don't understand why this is happening to me."


Now do you understand, Meleanie?
All you can do is laugh.
Idiot Americans with guns.
It beggars belief that a woman with a gun would be considered a positive for a baby-sitting service.

You know, the American Constitution is very easy to understand, they have the right to bear arms to protect their country from attack, or invasion, they were never meant to have the right to carry guns to little league.

I still remember seeing a stupid, dissenting Aussie saying that he had a constitutional right to bear arms around the time of Howard's gun buy back scheme. There is no such right under the Australian Constitution. The idiot should have moved to the US.

It actually made sense for the Americans to carry weapons when they were in the process of stealing the land from the natives, but now……?
Times have changed!
