Reply #21: Right. But it's ok for every gun owner to teach their kids about guns as soon [View All]

as they are old enough to walk. "Not that there is anything wrong with that." (See Seinfeld episode "The Outing")

People brag about learning to shoot when they were 5 all the time. "Not that there is anything wrong with that."

But this bang bang shoot'em up event was billed as a pumpkin shoot, safe for all ages, bring the kids, range officers on duty it's safe etc. etc. "Not that there is anything wrong with that."

But the organization that sponsored the event failed to properly supervise and regulate the event. The parent was told that is was safe, probably despite his better judgment.

I totally blame the sponsoring organization for allowing an eight year old to shoot a micro-uzi - but I don't write the laws. Whether or not the parents have a strong legal case is another issue.
