| Two 12-year-olds were killed and four other people injured when a Jordanian wedding guest fired celebratory shots from a machine gun in honour of the bride and groom, police said today. The well-wisher lost control of the weapon as he tried to fire it with one hand, sending bullets flying in all directions, police General Moslem Mahaddin told the official Petra news agency. The accident happened in the Ojan neighbourhood of the Amman satellite city of Zarqa yesterday. It has sparked renewed appeals from the authorities for Jordanians to abandon the tradition of marking major social occasions with gunfire. |

#3 Jordanian ... tradition of marking major social occasions with gunfire.Ever notice how the Left badmouth American gun owners, particularly Southerners (who don't fire off guns, machine or otherwise, at weddings), but never say a peep about their beloved moose-limbs' "culture"? |
