No. The owner would have to have a mindset the Army would have recognized right away in boot camp as being unfit for duty. Kids could handle the gun out there and still be able to work it.

I'd hope that to be true, but for the Clintonized military's idea of affirmative action... and kids? how heavy is it? This isn't just a pistol.

That being said, this was a combat situation. PFC Lynch may have forgotten to load the first round, or some such thing. The NRA was founded by Union officers after they walked the battlefield at Gettysburg and found such things as multiple loadings of powder and ball on top of each other. ...

Roman candle???

They really don't put up with problem cases and the incompitent. If you can't handle the simple things, you're out.

" and kids? how heavy is it? This isn't just a pistol."

I'll guess 6-7lbs. See may have had the carbine, the M4. My AR has a heavy barrel and 11-12 y/o girls shot it for most of a day, for days. It's ~8-9lbs.(CRS)
