Go back and read my first post.
I was unequivocable in my rejection of such laws.
We already have enough SOLID laws “child endangerment”, “negligence”, etc. to support putting these a$$holes in jail.
Had a child died because a parent or guardian gave them a chainsaw or a combine, it would be no different.
Sorry, I was responding to the language in your post to me.

Correct. Punish the criminal, not the implement.
My post to you about an AWESOME picture reflected a portion of the greater truth.
Somebody put a child in charge of a dangerous instrument and death resulted. The instrument should matter only in the determination of danger.
It reveals that truth too: She's not wearing safety glasses, hearing protection, or proper clothing that won't get caught in moving material in the breeze (such as the belt feed(. She's not been taught proper position and doesn't appear to be aiming at anything.
Nevertheless, it is a great picture.
That's my little girl's first shot with a pistol.
My son shoots my Uzi subgun quite well. He’s 14 now, but has been shooting since he was 6.
Wow, a blast from the past... I think I still have that t-shirt around somewhere.
