What they think of us

There is a huge gap between the world viewpoints of the reality that I live in and that of some other people:

While most nations recognize that absolutely no good can come of exposing children to guns at a young age, we live in a gun culture that promotes romantic notions of generations of families hunting and shooting together.

...

Sadly, it took us no longer than 5 minutes to find a broad range of videos, showing what could be considered in some cases to be blatant child endangerment.

There is no telling how many more of these videos exist on the Internet or how many other children have participated in or been exposed to these kinds of events-- but no doubt it's expansive if you have the time to do the research.

There is no mistaking it, as these images show, this is an outrageous problem unique to American culture that is perhaps more common than many of us even realize.

No so called" P Amendment.< Second the of interpretation loosest under even protected be should that behavior normal is this thinking into themselves delude possible could country enlightened?>

The gun pushers in the gun lobby have gone too far as have the sponsors and supporters of these events. This kind of activity needs to be exposed and outlawed immediately. Children's lives are at risk and as adults, we need to demand that our lawmakers do more to protect them from dangerous activities like these.

Think about it. While you are taking your kids to swimming or soccer, these kids--encouraged by their parents and other trusted adults--are blasting away at their target.

This issue of children firing machine guns, encouraged and emboldened by parents, demonstrates to us the need to change our perspective and the way we think about gun culture in the United States.

We are in a culture war. Their objective is to extinguish the last great hope for freedom on this planet. Our objective can be no less than to completely and totally defeat them.

Man, what I wouldn't give to see the look on that idiot's face if he saw my daughter's picture here. She's only 5 in that photo.

Oddly, she will grow up to understand responsibility better than probably 80% of the population.

Child abuse!

You sicko! The state should take children away from people like you. It's for the good of children!

Here's my daughter. I started her out with an SKS when she was 10 or 11.

I noticed he didn't make any mention of how many kids drown every year.

...or the approximately 20,000 serious (requiring emergency room visits) injuries which occur during cheerleading, including deaths...and the numerous deaths during sports...or motorized sport vehicles. But it was an eeeeeevill gun!! Remember, it's for the children...
