Now I already know this is a testy touchy subject. Let's just get this out there.
Girl 9, was being instructed to shoot uzi on gun range. She did. And then it got away from her grip *because she's EFING 9 holding a $(Y&($&%#$%() uzi you dumb ass! And well he's dead.
This is NOT about guns are bad mmkay? I realize gun safety is taught to many kids across our nation. I have no beef with that whatsoever. I think if you are a family who uses guns, then yes, gun safety is a good thing.
This is about age approriate training. Remember that thread about kids just being kids, because, well heck, they are KIDS. Well this is like that. Even with supervision, crap like this happens. Why? It's not about guns being bad. It's not about gun safety per say. It's about approriate age. KIDS should NOT be taught to use a damn uzi. I don't give a hoot what you say. It's never going to be ok. Unless of course you are Syrian and are about to protect your home, then just stop. That is not an appropriate type of weapon a 9 year old should be holding. It's like teaching kids to hold sparklers and figuring let's just give them some Mexican fire works to shoot off while we are at it. Or teaching your kid fencing and them letting go play with the neighbors with a katana. Just no.
Stop making children do adult things. Just stop.
I ranted. Sorry. This just pissed me off. I can't wait to have a kid. Because the first sign she has her period, I'm marrying her off to the first 10 year old boy who works in the factories.
Oh wait. This isn't the early 1900s.
My bad.
Let the fun begin ::
