I have a 7 year old son that watches me play Call of Duty where people are actively shooting uzis and multitude of other automatic weapons.

I would never even take him to a gunshow at his age, because I don't think that he is at the age to understand the responsiblity of shooting a gun.

Maybe if he were 10 or 11, I'd consider it.

No way, no how, no McCain.

Not even if the "expert" instructor said he would be safe??

What!?! Be responsible for your own actions?!?!

Surely you jest!!!


The way things are going 'responsible for your own actions' is no longer the American way...

I am not really up of the facts of this, but I think it will be interesting to see what additional steps, if any, gun shows take now to keep this from happening.

He definitely had a hand in it, as did the instructor as did the people in charge of the show. The father put the gun in the kid's hand, the instructor allowed the father to do this, the gun show people provided a place for this to occur, and the NRA promotes an agenda to allow the specific gun to be accessed.

My issue is specifically with the uzi.

No but your reaction doesn't surprise me.

Of course we are outraged at the father, but then you feel its easy to make partisan points. Yes we are outraged at the father duh.

I'm not outraged at the NRA just pointing out that they are in the business of preventing and and all regulations related to gun ownership and use. Don't you think a little legislation might help like oh say 'Its illegal to allow an 8yr old to use a firearm", we do that for cars why not guns ?

We need a law to prevent a father from allowing his 8 year old to shoot an Uzi??? Holy crap...
How 'bout we create a law that mandates "Father Testing", before a dude can have a son...

Wow....

If step 1 never happened, the subsequent steps would not be an issue...

Damn right. It is my overall responsibility to provide safety for my children.

If he isn't mature enough to understand the situation, F... any 'expert' instructor.

Had to answer just in case this wasn't sarcastic.

True, but that could be said about any of the instances. You ordering them and placing priority 100% on one is an arbitrary opinion that's highly argumentative.

Yep, just jump of the deep end and exaggerate what I said.

Of course you know I didn't say that but heck never let facts get in the way of a good rant
