Self described conservative and 2nd Amendment advocate uses gun to kill his own children.

Shawn Fuller admitted to shooting his young boys and said he was prepared to kill law enforcement officers, according to a report released Monday by the Iredell County Sheriff’s Department. 

Fuller was on the phone with an unidentified person when he made the confession, the report said. 

But by the time deputies arrived at Fuller’s home in the 100 block of Trent Road in Statesville, a confrontation was no longer a threat. Fuller was already critically injured with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 

Deputies found him outside his front door. They also found a weapon that had been hidden in the house by Fuller’s wife and likely was used to fire on his sons, according to the report. 

The bodies of Uriah Fuller, 4, and his brother Josiah Fuller, 3, lay inside the house. They suffered multiple gunshot wounds, Sheriff Darren Campbell said in Monday’s report. Fuller is in critical condition at Carolinas Medical Center. 

Fuller was intoxicated, no surprise there, and had turned his backyard into a half assed shooting range where he and his buddies shot at trees, milk jugs, cans, and probably anything else they could find.

Addicting Info located Fuller's Facebook page, and it was no surprise that he was a die hard conservative and defender of the 2nd Amendment:

I think that last one is the one that drives home the real point about owning guns.

People buy them after convincing themselves that they need them to protect their family, but aside from a handful of incidents where somebody scares off a robber or shoots a home invader, the majority of shootings are directed at friends, family, or even at themselves.

Guns are not designed to protect. They are designed to kill.

And in this case they did just that, and took the lives of two small, helpless children.
