Even though I've been a NRA member longer than I can remember, there's no
way I'd let my eight year old grandson fire a fully automatic weapon "for
fun".

It's just plain nuts....And in the state I live in too.

What is it with these idiots? I see ATVs that are DESIGNED for children.
They are limited in cubic centimeters displacement, but once they get some
motion going, then can smash you like a grape.

Ask me. July 4th. I crushed a L1 vertebrae so bad I'm now half an inch
shorter. It has ended my ATV days and snow skiing.

Giving THAT gun to a child was a negligent act. My son shot a 12 ga. at 8
years old. He was with me on a quail hunting trip, and asked. It was one
shot, and only one shell was in the gun. He did good. I asked him if he
wanted a second shot, and he declined. Both him and my daughter were
allowed to shoot guns at an early age, and both never had the curiosity of a
taboo gun. They were familiar with what they would do.

I see people giving their kids high powered cars and motorcycles, and then
scratching their nuts when they go into a telephone pole, and say, "What did
I do wrong?"

Age inappropriate are the keywords.

Not to get into it much, but this may give you some to chew on. Take a
nap with a 8 year old in the house and get carted off to jail cause
they got hurt for/from a million reasons. Wide awake adults paying
with guns and kids, they have to do more investigation...

One would think the law makers would go over the laws and get them
into perspective. Kind of like murder get 2 years, conspire to make a
drug deal and get almost life.
