Baby's Got a Gun

Stewie Ten-month-old "Bubba" Ludwig may not be able to walk, talk or eat anything more complicated than Cheerios but then again, he doesn't have to.

He's licensed to kill.

Bubba's doting grandfather, Bubba Sr. Sr., gave the little man a 12-gauge Beretta shotgun as a gift. Being a law-abiding guy like all good gun owners, Daddy filed for the permit, listing the baby's height (2 feet, 3 inches), and weight (20 pounds) and plunking down the $5 fee. Bubba provided his own John Hancock.

After checking that he isn't a convicted felon, the State of Illinois okay'd Bubba's God-given right to bear arms. As it should be. To quote Charlton Heston:

There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. A gun in the hands of a bad baby is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a good baby is no threat to anyone, except bad babies.

Bang, bang.
