Would You Buy Your 10-Year-Old Daughter a Gun for Christmas? Paul Ryan Did

Last week a small and seemingly innocuous piece in The Times caught my eye. The short panel referred to the fact that Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's right hand man and the Republican Party nominee for Vice President of the United States, had just spent $100 on camouflage hunting clothes for his daughter, Liza, 10, to go with the rifle he bought her last Christmas.

Aghast with what I had just read I blogged about it, commenting that buying a 10 year old a rifle for Christmas was insane, and anywhere in the world that it wasn't considered to be must be a crazy place.

Of course a liberal wouldn’t. They would buy her sex toys and condoms.

Kate Gunn scares herself over nothing.

He’s running for president....

[KoRn]

He’s running for president....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Paulie and Mario and Randi are dead to me.

[Fungi]

Would you vote for him?

[Vaquero]

Not wanting the world to know what I bought my 3 boys when they were kids, suffice it to say they were...are...well heeled

[Argus]

Quick, the smelling salts!

If she’s a responsible type kid, he should have bought it for her when she was about 7. Something light weight of course, suitable for her size.

[Da Coyote]

That ‘s about how old I was when I got mine.

And I only went to do things the quota boy Dorkbama could ever do.

Shove it, Huffpo.

Shove it deep.

Shove it often.

But shove it.

Whilst the rest of the world looks on in horror at images of African child soldiers holding guns and weapons that are impossibly large for them, we scan past the fact that the possibly soon to be second most powerful man in America is lawfully purchasing similar weapons for his daughter. Even worse - the Amercians are voting for him because of it.

Wow...this women is insane...

Only in a libtards warped twisted mind is a armed child solider the same thing as buying your daughter a rifle...

I assembled and finished a .22 single shot from a kit for my Daughter when she was around 10. It was actually a pretty cheaply made gun but she liked it.

For some reason it liked .22 shorts and was accurate with them. Not so with the long rifle. In my experience, most rifles are just the opposite.

Well the Airing of Grievances must be over. Now we are at “The Clutching of the Pearls” stage of Festivus.

[Travis McGee]

Libtards would rather see their pre-teen and teenage daughters raped and murdered than allow them to learn to use firearms.

Puffington Ho’ complaining about ‘extreme right-wing’ Paul Ryan’s getting his daughter something she wants for Christmas.

[Texan5]

If it bothers the author, she should stay away from there-and here as well, because the gifting of a 10 year old with a firearm is perfectly normal and acceptable. Anywhere in the world where that is NOT considered acceptable is a crazy place-like maybe France?

[Gene Eric]

Agreed

[Olog-hai]

So why doesn’t Kate change her last name? To, uh, Nerf or something?

[Fungi]

“Puffington Ho.’” Classic!
