Priest threatens boy with gun

[clearconscience]

This is being blown a little out of proportion, but I still hope they come down on this priest. Guns are not toys and should never be used in or as a joke.
This is how people die. This is how you teach kids guns are not to be taken seriously.
This priest is an idiot. I hope he is charged.

I agree, he shouldnt have EVER pointed it at the kid.. But the context was clearly a joke..

Hmm unsure how I feel.. I HATE when folks point firearms or even toy firearms at someone when its not for self defense or the alike.. But he was just horsingh around with the kid.. He could have been doing worse.. Know what mean?

Yeah but what happens when that kid finds his dad's gun and does that with his siblings/friends??

Exactly.. Thats where Im torn.. The priest didn't treat a firearm (no matter how inoperable it may have been).. And thus the kid wouldnt treat the firearm with respect.. BUT.. Its not a juicy murder story they are ginning it up to be.
