The FAST Approaching Gun Ban

[fred41]

So you're okay with giving a .22 to a five year old and you're not drunk!

If a father's okay with giving a five year old a loaded rifle...he should trust the kid with a straight edge too so he can give Daddy a close shave.

Kelly Ayotte’s popularity plunges after ‘no’ vote on background checks

Sen. Jeff Flake: "Nothing like waking up to a poll saying you're the nation's least popular senator."

Senators facing backlash over Background checks vote (Opens PDF)

thanks for the links. This issue is not going away. Americans generally understand that reasonable gun control is not, by any stretch of a sane imagination, in conflict with the Second Amendment. We understand that the life of a child trumps any asshole's claim to free and easy access to deadly firearms. Americans are largely agreed that reasonable, if minimal, restrictions include background checks in all venues (including gunshows) and limits on magazine capacities. As politicians awaken to this consensus of the general public the gun lobby will slowly lose its grip on the machinations of power. The NRA will still have money but the negative public opinion will lessen their capacity to bribe our politicians. The most important thing is to get out there and vote the Gun Lobby out of influence. Keep this issue in mind when you go to the polling booth.

How original! It called proper parental guidance.

No responsible parent would put a loaded .22 rifle in the hands of a five year old child with or without supervision. As Fred pointed out, you wouldn't submit to being shaved by a five year old with a straight razor.
It's not a question of whether yosi was being creative or original in his diagnosis of your condition. He was correct...you're a moron.

When applying to purchase a gun you should be asked, "Are you intending to put this firearm in the hands of a five year old child?" An affirmative answer should be enough to disqualify you from buying the weapon.

Just since yesterday:

Sheriff’s Deputy is accidentally shot by a Texas homeowner, when he was mistaken for an intruder.

Another Deputy Sheriff was accidentally shot in Pennsylvania by a fellow officer. Both were conducting a raid on a barber shop in Darby Borough.

An Iowa policeman was showing off his weapon to a friend when the weapon discharged and would the friend in the hand.

In Baldwinsville, NY a man drew a gun and threatened to kill himself. His sister attempted to pull the gun away and it accidentally went off shooting her brother in the head.

An Ohio man accidentally shot himself and was too embarrassed to reveal to the police the circumstances of the incident.

In Virgina a hunter was shot and killed when he was mistaken for a turkey.

Florida man confessed to accidentally shooting and paralyzing a man while drunk.

In Auburn, Washington a nine year old girl was shot in the leg by her seven year old brother playing with a .22 rifle.

Another man in Arizona was mistaken for a turkey and shot by his brother.

You have more control dealing with a 5 year old with a .22 than a 5 year old with a straight razor. For starters, with a .22 rifle under supervision, you know what will be down range before telling them to fire. With a straight edge razor, you need delicate control. Apples and oranges comparison. You're the moron for comparing the two.

Obviously you have little experience with five year old boys. You even know which direction IS downrange. Five year old boys are easily distracted, don't always do what they're told, impulsive and often defiant of authority. You're a moron to suggest it's safe to give a loaded weapon to a five year old child.

With proper training and guidance, it is safe. You can search Youtube and find a lot of videos of it done the right way with various 5 year old kids.

Yeah, you can find all sorts of asinine things on the Internet.
