The Gogglebox cast were left astounded upon learning of a nine-year-old girl’s fascination with guns.
Featuring in Stacey Dooley’s documentary series, Autumn Fry showcases an alarming passion for guns, boasting a YouTube channel of 200,000 subscribers on which she reviews her 36 semi-automatic weapons.
Stacey met with Autumn and her parents, Randy and Lindsay, at their motor home in Oklahoma – where they reside due to the State’s relaxed firearm laws – in a bid to better understand how they see the world.
Unsurprisingly, the Gogglebox gang were stunned by the whole thing, as they listened to Autumn describe the weapons as ‘beautiful’, despite her country’s horrific levels of gun violence.
She also took host Stacey around her home, showcasing her painting space and telling of her love for all things creative, which the Gogglebox crew admitted made her seem ‘normal’ until the guns came out.
‘It’d be good to figure out why they decided, mum and dad, to allow her to make her own channel’, the broadcaster mused.

‘I’ve got an answer for you, Stacey. It’s because they’re morons,’ quipped Gogglebox’s Helena Worthington.
‘She’s like something from a horror film!’, exclaimed Mary Killen in reference to the child.
‘You can’t drink until you’re 21 in America, but you can shoot a gun at nine?’, asked a bewildered Sue Sheehan.

The clip went on to show Autumn discussing her ‘favourite’ guns, as Stacey followed her and her dad behind the scenes of a YouTube vid, which she films five of each week.
As if all of that wasn’t frightening enough, everyone gasped when Autumn revealed she has been shooting since the age of two.
One person in particular who was shocked by Autumn’s ‘hobby’ was Jenny Newby, who has become a favourite on the Channel 4 show alongside BFF Lee Riley.
‘That’s not right. That is not right, that,’ Jenny said angrily, watching Autumn shoot at targets shaped like teddy bear heads.
‘How can you inspire people to go out shooting when all these children are dying, and being killed in schools her age?’, Jenny asked, after Autumn said she wanted to ‘encourage’ others with her violence.
‘It’s just fun, I love shooting,’ Autumn said with a smile, also leaving viewers at home struggling for words.
