8 year old accidently shoots himself with an Uzi

Quote:

This doesn't strike me as very smart
or responsible from those who run the facility

U are anti-gun freedom.
What can we EXPECT u to think about anything that is pro-gun freedom ?

stop assigning me views.
you don't have the faintest clue what i think.

it is absolutely none of your business
to state if i am pro or anti anything.

...besides you are so very wrong.

The child could had been kill mowing the lawn for example by having the lawnmower throwing a rock and yet many parents allow 8 years olds with adults around to mow lawns!

stick to the topic and comment on the content of the topic.
not on my personna, please. you are speculating and assuming.

We disagree as to both of those assertions,
and I ratify what I posted.

U implied, with no evidence, and with no respect for people of a certain age group,
that thay cannot drive cars,

What do you think the charge would be against a parent that let their 8 year old drive and that child crashed and killed themselves? Not only would it piss me off that a parent did such a thing, I would support them being charged with a crime.

in other words: GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT, with no effort to prove anything,
simply to proceed with criminal prosecution of freedom minded adults.

I do not wish to offend u, Dag,
but u put your state-of-mind into issue
when u commented about how certain things "strike" u
insofar as their being "very smart" or "responsible".

Having done so,
it is fair to address both your philosophy and your psychology,
as thay have been manifested in your posts.

I am willing to leave it there, without further comment,
unless u choose to prolong discussion of this matter.


David

prolong? i did not even bring it up here.

comment on those POLICIES then -
whether you think they are responsible or not, not on what you
believe that i think- because, again, you can have no idea.
i will not humor you and engage in a discussion about myself.
that just does not belong on a forum. there even used to be
Terms of Service about that -- comment on the topic, not on the person.

you have no business commenting on my "philosophy"
or "psychology" (sic!...i presume you meant my psyche).
you don't know me. some posts on an online forum do not entitle
you to claim that you do. good day.

Anyone that wants to argue that riding in a car, a plane,
or a roller coaster is similar to handling a gun with live ammunition
has certainly revealed far more than they should have.

Behold how a liberal tries to make his point by snide innuendo,
instead of using logical reasoning about the facts.

David has proven to me how stupid it is to allow an 8 year old
to handle a weapon of any sort let alone a machine gun.

Its a moot point, since are a hoplophobe; its your nature.
I am 100% certain that u had the same viewpoint before u met me.
U can have an opinion, the same as anyone else.

It is not moot at all. I am certainly not a hoplophobe and you know nothing of my nature.

You really are dumb if you think I could have a viewpoint about you before I met you. My viewpoint was formed by your idiotic views on sensitive subjects.

Thank you for allowing me to have an opinion.

This by his admitted history as a 8 year old.

U make it sound almost as if I had admitted to robbing liquor stores.
I 'd have delighted in gunnery practice at a younger age, if I had the chance,
while I was still living in NY, before leaving for Arizona.
Guns were magneticly attractive.

I have to wonder if his love of guns from a young age
has caused his warped thinking in advanced age.

My sentiments have remained constant since age 3,
on that subject, tho I did not discover the 2nd Amendment,
until I was idly thumbing thru the back of a history book,
and found the US Constitution in school, in Mrs. Kraus' 4th grade class.
" The boy is father to the man. "

I remember the communist next door, Murray Zackin, who used to
praise his Comrade Stalin on summer nights; he grossed me out,
and alarmed me, around age 5 (give or take) when he told me
of NY 's Sullivan law. I ran into my house, to get my mother
to assure me that it wasn 't so; alas.
Praise be unto the USSC in Heller.
Interestingly, Murray had a revolver.

Apparently if you go back a hundred years or so in America, shooting sports were the most major kind of thing which everybody got fairly good at and some got extraordinarily good at, and things like baseball and football were second-tier sports.

In that environment, it was possible for a little girl (Oakley) to get so good with a rifle that she could hit birds on the wing and sell them to restaurants at a premium price since there'd be nothing for anybody to harm their teeth on.

When you think about that, you realize that the little girl had to be doing an insane amount of shooting with both rifles and shotguns starting well prior to her eighth birthday and that for every Annie Oakley out there, there would have been tens of thousands of other kids who just put rabbits and ducks on their families' tables with firearms.

"Hoplophobic". Cool. I'd never heard of that word.

This, in no way, takes away from the fact that it was not very smart.

How does this rationalize an 8 year old child
being allowed to fire an uzi and die in the process?
