If babies were armed there would be no abortion.
But I suppose if those same idiots have the "right" to vote, it's no big whoop to lose a life now and then.
For the idiots among us, that does not only apply to firearms.
I figure if you’re old enough to abort a baby, you’re old enough to have a gun....
“...and kept in a corner.”
Really. The idiot parents (who now have been horribly punished for their idiocy) left the gun around for the kid to PLAY with. Because that’s what you do with a real gun, right? Play with it? Instead of respecting it as a tool and a weapon?
I have twin six-year-olds and while they have never found a lethal weapon to use, both have left SCARS on each other over the years. We recently gave them a metal Little League bat, but they’re only allowed to use it under adult supervision because I know it would be only a matter of time until Cain or Abel decides to have a come-to-Jesus moment with brother. By themselves, they get to use the plastic bat.
Kids need freedom, but until they’re ready for the next step of freedom, they need supervision.
only idiots believe that the solution to preventing nutjob murderers is to disarm all the law abiding gun owners.
you cant stop bad guys by disarming all the good guys.
yes, their scope of reality isnt able to see a long term big picture to immediate impulse actions. or understand ramifications and consequences. they are still immortal naive small universe beings.
Got my first .22 as a Christmas gift when I was 5. A Chipmunk single shot (the same gun Crickett makes now) it’s in my 11 year old sons room right now. Been there for years.
Both of my kids by 5 years old were comfortable with and shot both AR and AK platform rifles. Judge how you want, it won’t be my kids who watch their families burn in a ditch.
I shot my first weapon when I was thirteen. It was a .22 rifle. My dad would give us a box of bullets and we would go for target shooting in my uncle’s basement. My brother shot it too, when he was eleven. He got very good at it. We would go to our annual local fair where they had target shooting set up with .22 rifles. My brother and I would always win the big prize. It helped my brother when he joined the Army. He got a perfect score in his PT shooting test.
5 is fine for BB
Or .22 assisted
Depends on where ya live
I have a pic of my 4 year old holding up a CAR 15 ubeta mag somewhere....not loaded of course
It takes time to load a beta....and tuff fangers
I dove hunted ,410 with daddy at 6
Shot first doe at 8....20 gauge slug with our old black man James who was my family’s handyman and lived on my grandparents estate....originally as an abandoned 13 year old they took in
He was 40s by my time....taught me good bout deer and squirrel in Miss and LA swamp hunting
You’re a coastal fella judging that sandy dirt
Suqar sand, old sand dunes. I’m 10 miles inland and can dig up prehistoric shells in the yard.
Started at age 8 with a 1908 Winchester pump .22 short given to me by my grandfather.
I started at 5.
If it was about sex, they would say NEVER too young, pervs
My Dad taught me to shoot starting at 4. He hung a heavy blanket up in the attic and provided a sawhorse for me to rest the barrel of the Daisy BB gun on. I was probably 6 or 7 before I fired a .22 and I can’t imagine how the parents left the gun with a round in it. Definitely the adult’s fault in this one and I’m sure they are aware - my heart aches for the family.
I still lament the wooden-stock M-14 I used in basic, God, it was beautiful.
All guns are always loaded. Period.
