"The right-wing Duggar family has always strongly supported the second amendment. In June, married daughter Jessa, 22, was even photographed holding an automatic[sic] rifle."
"But now many fans think the Christian fundamentalists have taken their gun love too far. Last week, parents Jim Bob and Michelle posted a picture of young son Jedidiah, who just turned 16 on December 30, proudly wielding a 12 gauge shotgun on Christmas morning ... and commenters couldn’t believe their eyes."
"'Worst present ever. I don’t care how much gun safety they teach their kids,' said Linda Lawless. 'All it takes is one time of not locking it up properly for one of the dozens of curious young kids in that house to get a hold of it ...'" ... |

Seems like an ordinary shotgun to me. But, I suspect, most of those ranting don't give a second's thought to giving their teenager several hundred horsepower either ! Lots of kids, of both genders, way younger than 16 shoot all manner of firearms. Many excel at it. Early firearms training is generally cited by these young participants as a key element in improving their life skills and academic performance.
Now what's wrong with that ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
