Budding rap artist in Ohio kills self with pen gun

http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-pen07.html

ST. PARIS, Ohio -- Steven Zorn had put the pen gun to his head and clicked before, apparently thinking it was jammed and would not work.

But on the third try, the tiny silver pistol went off as the 22-year-old budding rap artist was drinking to celebrate an impending record deal. He died at a hospital.

If pen guns are outlawed only idiots will have pen guns!

5. Yep. It was a gun with blanks in it....but even the strength of that, when

pressed up against your head will kill. He died because he was trying for a laugh. It was sad. :(

3. Well if you give a chimp a gun and the chimp shoots himself

Do you blame the chimp or the person that gave the gun to the chimp?

8. Ut-oh. Hope this doesn't start a turf war.

Rappers start offing themselves for revenge.
