The children are under adult supervision. More specifically, the children are under US Marine adult supervison. Secondly, those launchers and any weapons that are displayed are rendered inoperable.
My suggestion to the folks at the newspaper, including the reporter and the photographer is to get the sand out of your shorts and wad out of your panties and stop being a bunch of pansies.
My daughter is 6. She shoots live firearms. She does it in a safe and positive environment. Holding an inert weapon is really nothing to have an aneurism over.

Stupid kids! Flame throwers are too heavy and you have to refill them all of the time. Hand grenades- that’s the ticket! Hand grenades are small, cheap, come in different models, and so simple to use that a five year old can get proper instruction and practical application exercise in one morning.

Isn’t this the same crowd that wants women to be in combat zones to prove their equality with men? These little girls are just looking forward to the feminists’ future for U.S, women,

My daughter would have loved handling those at that age and she would have wanted pictures to prove it.

Some thought the juxtaposition of such lethal weapons with pure innocence and excitement was too jarring or sent the wrong message. Oh, dry up!

Actually, I borderline give this author credit. He presented mostly reactions, evenly distributed, from parents, and only once or twice injected opinion. I was pleasantly surprised.

Imagine the liberal heart attacks all over the country, if those girls had been aiming those weapons at and image of bin-Laden or Hitler, or a group of terrorists.
What the writer probably wanted in the girls’ hands, was a letter of apology addressed to all the bad people of the world.

This is the same kind of mentality that gives us expulsion of non-Eric Holder kids for having a plastic knife in their lunch bag or the TSA confiscating toy soldiers holding guns.
