The "article" linked in the n00b DUmmie's OP is
here. It's a 5 year old posting from a gun-grabber/pearl-clutcher bunch of lib busybodies that have cherry picked the absolute worst examples and presented them as regular occurrences. The biggest common factor is that firearms were left out around small children and around older children who obviously got their "education" about firearms not from responsible parents, but from other leftist sources ("entertainment" media).
No agenda there, huh?

No, it's not normal to give a child a gun
Uh, retard, your source does not show one single example where any of those children were "given" guns.
To everyone here who grew up in this sick gun culture, I'm truly sorry, but you're upbringing has contributed to the death of a 2 year old girl at the hands of her 5 year old brother.
No it hasn't. My upbringing taught me to:
1. Respect life always.
2. Treat every weapon like it is loaded until you personally verify otherwise.
3. Never point the barrel of any weapon at someone.
4. Know what is behind your target and do not fire until you do.
5. Keep your finger out of the trigger guard unless you are firing.
6. Put your firearms and ammo out of the reach of small children and idiot libs.
7. Never, ever, lose positive control over a loaded weapon.
8.
I am the best safety.
Can you guess which of those things learned in my "upbringing" I have passed along to my children, retard? Can you guess how many firearm mishaps there have been in my home?
My "upbringing" in this "sick gun culture" had nothing to do with the irresponsibility of the parents of these children. Maybe, just maybe, you could save your bullshit guilt trip for them.
And that's just the most recent example: this happens all the time.
No, it doesn't. If that were true, it would be in the
top 10 causes of unintentional deaths of the age groups you are whinging about.
It is NOT normal to be given a gun at 8 years old
What is normal, DUmmie, is to "earn" your privilege to handle a real firearm. In my home, you get non-firing toys first. Toys are training, play is practice, evaluation of how you treat that chunk of plastic factors heavily into what constitutes the right age for you to hold a firearm in my home. The minimum age you must achieve for your first trip to the range is 10 years old. In my house, it's a big deal to go to the range with mom and dad for the first time because it is an earned privilege where "okay" isn't good enough.
Prior to the trip is full instruction on how that weapon works, a range "safety brief" including dry firing unloaded weapons so there are no doubts about range commands and instructions, weapon safe and clear, weapon breakdown and cleaning. None of the children walk away from their first gun shoot without firearms respect and safety indelibly stamped into the brains.
That', DUmmie gun grabber, is "normal" and "responsible".
and it is NOT normal to "learn to respect" guns early.
Of course it isn't.
Do you have any idea how ****ing retarded that was?
If they don't learn respect early, they will end up hurting themselves or someone else, DUmbass. You just invalidated your entire argument...
This misguided notion is why a 2 year old is now dead. Her mother made the same mistake that EVERY PARENT EVER has made. She turned her back for a second. It happens. We are all human. But when you have a deadly weapon thrown into the mix? Well that turns a minor accident into an irreversible tragedy.
No, stupid, it isn't. Want to know why that child is dead? See "sick gun culture upbringing" rules 1, 6, 7, and 8.
It has to stop. Just because you were raised a certain way does not mean you were raised the right way. That's how people grow and mature as human beings, by realizing that, hey, maybe mom and pops shouldn't have done this or that?
Irony, thy name is DUmbass...
Maybe it's NOT ok to teach your children to love guns.
A firearm is a tool. Proper teaching and training of a child is to respect and care for the tool and to be a responsible, proper, lover-of-life hand that wields it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: people need to grow up.
Indeed....
