Real news. With snark, invective, and lots of links. Guaranteed behaving badly.

these people are so ideologically constipated they will endanger their own children to make a political point…

If these gun loons have no problems sending their nine year old kids to the gun range to fire high capacity weapons, then surely they should have no problems with their kids being sent to Iraq to fight ISIS, right?

Seven ways children can just have fun:
1-Regularly participate in some form of recreation like sports. Get in shape!
2-Watch television shows where they can actually learn something of value (Discovery..History Channel…etc)
3-Learn to play a musical instrument of interest or take up another hobby that is fulfilling
4-Learn about geography…the world…and history
5-Limit video games and especially stay away from the violent ones
6-Learn what it means to work for a living…earning money…and respecting ownership of anything bought (teaches discipline and helps prevent expecting something for nothing)
7-Limit the use of “devices” (phones…computers…etc) and get involved with activities that enrich their lives.
Just a few of many but guns are not fun!!

Nothing cropped out on the edges and BIG type.

So let me get this straight. A pre-planned twitter campaign goes out, just as the news of this horrible accident has happened. And once the news was out, the tweet was taken down. But yet somehow that does not matter.

In what sane world is it acceptable for kids as young as nine years old to be allowed access to high power weapons, let alone fire them?

there are many shooting competitions for children. Many of these kids have been training for years. Look up on youtube, 3 gun challenge, and kids, and you will see many.

Then you should have no problems sending these kids over to Iraq to go and fight ISIS, so that others kids don’t have to. If we’re going to be a society that allows kids that young to fire guns, then we might as well make them useful.

I would say it is safe to say, that most of those kids are the ones that grow up and join the military. So your statement is mostly true.

No, it doesn’t matter. Giving lethal weapons to children is never “fun”, and never OK.
Heck, the vast majority of adults are not qualified to handle weapons.

I notice that shooting the instructor isn’t one of them.

In the spirit of self preservation i applaud the instructor for the Complete lesson on guns. I would let my kid shoot there. Lucky kids.

Go play with your ‘toy’ guns kiddies, brilliant.

I think it is more of the parent’s fulfillment, to see their child handle a weapon. This is something for them to brag about. Until, the child uses the gun on them.
