It is always hilarious when leftwing girly-boys who couldn’t pick a shotgun out of a line-up criticize others for firearms safety violations.The latest entrant is some assclown named Wes Siler writing at that hotbed of gun sports Gizmodo.

Children's curiosity and teenagers' love of risks makes them extremely resistant to efforts to persuade them not to handle guns, such as the National Rifle Association's Eddie Eagle campaigns as well as programs by gun control advocates, it found. In some cases these programs may have increased...
