U.S. Senate Democrats call for probe into ‘JR-15’ child-size rifle [More]
Because “commonsense gun safety” demands young people be denied development-appropriate training and remain utterly ignorant if a firearm is present.
Every one of the scumbag politicians in that photo is an opportunistic collectivist traitor and whore.

I teach rifle safety and marksmanship (along with a healthy dose of Revolutionary War history as oral story) and have worked with a LOT of younger folk on the line. I mean, children as young as six. She paid attention learned the skills we were teaching, handled her rifle well (one of those ridiculous Crickets) was as safe as anyone else on the line, and hd a great time. I’ve ad dozens if not hundreds between her age of six and, say, fourteen. Same story. Some of them had brought AR pattern rifles, chambered in .22 WRF I personally think these were poor choices, as few had stockes and grips and slings what worked well for the smaller set. Those rifles were no ore dangerous or lethal than anything else on the line, and a lot less so tham some of the larger calibre rifles on the line. AR 10, M1 Garand, BAR chambered in 7.62 x 51 or 7.62 x 59, a VERY sweet Browning Lever Action in .243….. watched one skinny runt of an eleven year old (with which description he heartily agreed) get lifted up off the groundwith his M1 Garand, only to settle right back down after recoil and fire again, STiLL on target.
I’d like to drag some of these eedjits out, sit them down, put eye and ear protection on them, and FORCE them to observe a morning on the line. I’d have them “covered” by an escort to assure they were not taking any pictures or such, with which to incite harassment by CPS. Some folks just gotta bellyache and pontificate and judge. All part of their nanny bent.
