[Love this “stat”. Define: children ]
Black men under 27, black girls under 12 and all whites under 18.
Yes, and this includes “child” criminals shot while shooting
at police, or shot during their commission of a crime.
The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program teaches children in pre-K through third grade four important steps to take if they find a gun. These steps are presented by the program's mascot, Eddie Eagle®, in an easy-to-remember format consisting of the following simple rules:
If you see a gun:
STOP!
Don't Touch.
Leave the Area.
Tell an Adult.
Read about it here:
I know how to be safe with firearms, in cars, on a bike and around a pool.
Then again, I’m not dumb, and I’m 22.
I’m just guessing, but I bet more children die at the hands of “moms” every year than die in firearms accidents.
Seems like I hear a lot more about kids being drowned in bathtubs, beaten with rocks, left to cook in cars, burned with scalding water, and otherwise abused, entrusted to abusive crack-head boyfriends, or deliberately neglected to death by mothers than I hear about firearms accidents. And I’m certain the press makes sure we hear about every gun accident over and over and over again!
Thus, mothers are more dangerous to children than guns. How’s that for “momlogic?”
When you did that, did you let your child/children fire it? What caliber?
Did you at least just use dry cotton balls?
Hey now, those video games can teach small-squad tactics.
Nothing like laying the other team’s well-made plans to waste. Good example is convoy, if the rest of the team listens.
I salute you! Good job. It is incidents such as yours that chip away at the foundation of lies created by the left.
You, and others like you, are why we are winning!
It was about 16 years ago..., but yes, I let my 7 year old step-son fire a handgun at a can of tomato soup. I believe he had shot his sister or cousin with a BB gun so I sat him down and gave him a gun safety lesson that ended with me assisting him to aim and fire a real gun. (9mm semi-auto) I honestly don’t remember what hearing protection I gave him, but I remember I wanted him to hear, see and understand what happens when you point a real gun at someone.
Geeee that’s almost as many kids that die from being left in over heated cars.
To arrive at these numbers, they have to define a kid as anyone under 30. This slight of bulldozer allows them to gather all the gangsters as ‘kids.’
Sounds good
I guess just make sure there’s something to cut out some sound. I remember I was on the firing line one day, and I think a guy was shooting some ballsy cartridge, don’t know what it was. First time he fired it scared the heck out of me. I held up the target and I felt the paper vibrate from every round.
I also have about a 35% hearing loss in the right ear, but that’s a whole different story.
I would guess make sure whatever kids you teach how to handle a firearm, make sure they have the best hearing protection you can find.
Also, whenever I have kids, I’m not entirely sure how I’d go about teaching them about firearms.
Arthur, what aren't you a member of? ;o)
If I saw that hanging in my neighborhood I would be inclined to tear it down and apart, and I don’t even have guns or kids (yet).
