Suffer the little children

An Oklahoma City church called off plans to give away a semiautomatic assault rifle* at a weekend gathering of teenagers, the church's pastor said.

"We have 21 hours of preaching and teaching throughout the week," Pastor Bob Ross told a local teevee station.

Most people understand that if you're planning on preaching at a teenager for even two hours, you don't give him a gun.

* Oklahoma groundhogs are notoriously aggressive.
