[color:"orange"] The older brother was never the same after that. [/color]
I wonder about the father, having left a weapon lying around unattended - loaded and accessible to kids...
Wow, that's lucky. I wish I had a chance to shoot my younger sibling. I've been the same for the last 20 years and it's been damn boring. Hmm, though in that case, I wonder how the brother was better? Did you mean to say that his life was better because it changed, or better for some other reason? More toys for him at xmas?
And we should be deeply grateful for this peculiar event - my crystal ball says that without this event said person would have gone on to own 12 guns and eventually become a serial killer. BUT he would have failed as a serial killer to murder the Richten family in its entirely, and one of the surviving members would have gone on to become an influential priest who discouraged birth control and increased the starving and desperate people in central africa until a major civil war started.
Fortunately, because he wasn't a serial killer, the member of the Richten family that should have survived actually died in a car accident.
Whew, that was a close one.

"That which is good is seen in hindsight, tunnel vision, individual and cultural prejudice, and the blissful fog of memory. If you're looking backwards it's all bad - that's why we left it behind, yet still have the time to look backwards fondly rather than forward in terror." - Idiot #5,639,423,715
