These girls are trained in gun safety. See how their fingers are no on the triggers, but sitting next to them? I doubt that these girls will be messed with while growing up.

Personally, I’d be more worried about kids holding onto guns than I would be about crazed, rabid raccoons that just escaped from prison.

Sgt Rock makes a good point, in that it is up to the parents to teach kids responsibility - in guns, in driving, in just being a good person. To get back to the picture at hand, it doesn’t look like this is a lesson in responsibility. It looks a little more like glorification of guns, which to me, is much worse than the ‘MYSTERY of the HANDGUN’.

Yeah I was going to comment on the ALL CAPS FOR NO REASON thing… but you beat me to the punch. I think that gun safety is important, but why the hell would you let your little girl hold one? Teach them about it, but i would NEVER let my child hold one or pose with one or make them think that just because they know to put their finger away from the trigger means they are safe. Wtf? i agree with Brian about the picture itself… this is not a “gun safety” promotion. It’s a picture of three little girls holding guns as if they are going to pop a cap in someone’s ass.

Sarge, TURN YOUR F’N CAPS LOCK OFF!!!!
Not every word has the same absolutely important meaning as the one before it.
I bet if you had a double or triple caps lock that you could double highlight and enunciate each word with, you would.
Strong opinions are one thing. USING ALL CAPS IS ANOTHER!
But I do agree with you on the training of proper handgun usage.

* To appease the dipwads like “Bawz” ,
who have nothing better to do then comment
on my “CAPTIALAZATION: ,,, Is this better ?
(At least you agree on proper handgun training)
So, lets get this straight once and for all..
I’m NOT saying that I agree on letting three little girls
‘randomly’ hold firearms…
The pictures are here merely to spur conversation…
If you look at the first 8 comments..
they all took it in stride..
It is just a picture…
And the comments made were funny..
Then the forum obviously turned toward “gun control’ ..
Not a problem,
because i do believe in ‘gun control’..
You should always be in control of your firearm.
And I still stand by my statement that children should know
about firearms BEFORE they come across one..
Now whether you want your children to know the right
or proper way to handle a firearm..
Well.. that’s your business..
And I’d never be able to convince someone who doesn’t want to
believe that it is a wise choice…
So.. I’m not trying to…
These are just opinions !
And we all know that opinions are like braincells,
Everyone has them.. some just have more then others !
So,
I’m glad my child knows what to do if he comes across a firearm..
or for some reason has to handle one…
And I also stand by my statement that private handgun
ownership does keep down crime levels…
I’m not saying that it will stop crime, cause it wont..
And thats even more of a reason to own and
know how to properly use a firearm..
Yes, some other countries with less amounts of private handgun ownership have lower crime rates.. but those countries like japan and england are only now realizing how their crime rate is sharply rising and even their police are having an extremely difficult time protecting their citizens and themselves against armed criminals…
And to ‘grouchy veteran’.. yes I do believe in my opinion..
That is why it’s called “My Opinion” .
You can have “your own opinion’ , for what it’s worth .
After all… This is America .
That’s one of the rights that you fought for.. Isn’t it !
And to ‘pazza’… Thank You… because most great people have at one time
or another been called “crazy” by those who cant understand logic.
And finally… NO.. these are not my daughters .
But If they are shooters and have been taught the proper ways of handgun/firearms control.. I’d be very proud of them…
So.. comments are fine.. and that’s what these forums are for..
But lets not quibble over “CAPITLAZATION” … geeez…
And regarding other opinions …
That is what makes America great !
