And when you thought people couldn't get any more ignorant,
here comes the
"Iowa Lawmakers, (Who) Approve Bill That Would Let Kids Have Handguns." By Kim Bellware for The Huffington Post.
I thought
Texas
had a bunch of
Texas
had a bunch of
Jackasses
for
Lawmakers,
"Texas 'open carry' law passes, allowing guns in holsters on the street." The Guardian.
"Texas lawmakers approved carrying handguns openly on the streets of the nation’s second most populous state on Friday, sending the bill to the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it and reverse a ban dating to the post-civil war era."
I'm sure all
Iowans
were so upset by
Texas
beating them out on the
"Open Carry Law,"
that the only thing they could think of to do,
to be ahead of them in ignorance was to
"Give Guns To Children."
"Children of all ages in Iowa would be able to lay down their toy guns and pick up the real thing under a bill that passed the state House of Representatives. Statehouse Republicans, including the bill's sponsor, Rep. Jake Highfill, said the the legislation was an issue of parents' rights designed to correct "an injustice in Iowa code” that now forbids children 14 and younger from handling pistols. Allowing people to learn at a young age the respect that a gun commands is one of the most important things you can do,” Highfill told The Washington Post on Wednesday. The alternative, he said, is “turning 18 with no experience.”
Turning 18 with no experience is a bad thing
If we only had a system that could teach someone how to handle a gun?
I know that setting up
Classes
at a
Firing Range
with
Professionally Trained Marksman
to teach people,
Under Age,
how to handle a firearm,
would be insane if we didn't have these moronic
Laws.
But couldn't the
Law
have specified,
before a youth was allowed to have a pistol,
even under parental supervision,
he would have to have these
Classes With A Professional
and then be
Certified
before he got a gun?
If you ask me,
most parents don't know how to handle a gun.
I already know a lot of grownups who carried guns
and they didn't have a clue on the safety issue.
If some of them weren't in jail already
and the other half dead from self inflicted wounds,
I wouldn't want their children carrying guns around if they had been taught by their foolish parents who thought it was cool just to carry one!
If you are thinking of getting a gun,
check these websites out
and maybe we will have one less accidental shooting.
