Yorkshire Pudding and Guns

What a seriously fucked-up country the United States is.
A friend of mine told me while living in Florida in the 1980's, she could shop at a local grocer's that sold English food. She used to buy a well-known Yorkshire Pudding mix. Very soon, this mix was removed from the shelves, as there was an ingredient that the Federal Drugs Administration deemed unsuitable. This was just one example of many English foods that were removed as they were judged to be "dangerous"  to the American public, while the British quite happily enjoy them to this very day.
Now we travel forward in time to April 2013, where in Cumberland County, Kentucky, USA, an American father buys his five-year old son a  gift: a .22 calibre rifle. The son accidently shoots and kills his 2-year old sister. The mother was in the house at the time, and the gun was left standing in the corner. She claimed she didn't know the gun was loaded.
