Fun on the range

Some more information on Miko Andres, the 6 year old competitive shooter mentioned earlier.

Teaching about snapping in.

Katie on then and now: Nowadays, however, most parents – including me – would be incredibly freaked out if one of their child’s friends had unlocked guns in the home, not to mention hanging on the wall of a child’s bedroom (!!!). But why? I’m sure this guy was freaked out too: A ten-year-old boy […]

In Illinois (yes, that Illinois): Teenagers gather to support gun ownership rights A group of young people Tuesday night chimed in on the old debate over gun control.

ABC news continues its assault on guns and gun owners: Before Arranging Playdates, Ask About Guns They are telling people to be afraid of gun owners. And try to make gun owners look like lunatics ready to snap at any moment. More at Newsbusters. Update: What she said.

New shooter!

Here, kids are learning gun safety.

Real gun safety works.

Sweet.

Dr. Helen: Remember when kids could play with toy guns and they were not a symbol of all that was evil in the world? My daughter doesn’t. She warned me that she could never bring the potato gun to school without the risk of expulsion. At 15 months, I built Junior her first AR-15. I’ll […]

Via Dr. Helen, comes this: Adolescent ownership and use of firearms is a growing concern, and results from the Rochester study suggest the concern is well founded. By the ninth and tenth grades, more boys own illegal guns (7 percent) than own legal guns (3 percent). Of the boys who own illegal guns, about half […]

I’m all for gun safety. I’m all for educating kids about guns and educating parents too. A recent $40K ad campaign has kicked off in Knoxville advising parents to lock up their guns: The first of many billboards went up Tuesday morning, announcing the gun safety campaign. The signs say “Put ’em up for children’s […]

Apparently, it’s an NRA conspiracy to make sure kids learn gun safety. Or something. Also, in Michigan, you can’t possess a BB gun if you’re under 18?

Using toy guns to instill gun safety rules. On one hand, I can see a good reason for doing this. On the other hand, kids will be kids and preventing that would be like herding cats.

A bit back, I gave Katie Granju a bit of a hard time (along with an offer to take her to the range) about her feelings on guns. Specifically, I noted her apprehensiveness with respect to firearms despite her having a real desire to defend her family. She expands on the issue a bit here. […]

But let’s stop handing small kids full auto guns: A 9-year-old girl accidentally killed an Arizona shooting instructor as he was showing her how to use an automatic Uzi, authorities said Tuesday. *snip* Vacca was standing next to the girl at the Last Stop outdoor shooting range in White Hills when she pulled the trigger […]

And I bet they save up for some malt liquor too Tam pretty much dismisses it for the absolute stupidity that it is.

An interesting video on the theme of if kids find it, they’ll play with it. From a gun control group.

Senator Don Harmon (D-lusional): I received a call this week from an Oak Park mom troubled by having to explain to her six-year-old why there were suddenly pictures of guns everywhere. I’m told psychiatrists and psychologists are investigating the effects of the visual bombardment we will endure, particularly on our children. This is what happens […]

Seems if you put a gun or two among a bunch of toys, kids will touch it. The irresponsible journalism of handing kids guns aside, this shouldn’t be shocking. Kids are curious. Guns are cool. So, yeah, they touch them. Meanwhile, here’s their nonsensical piece on shaming err asking other parents if they have guns […]
