A well Regulated Militia

[lazs2]

surrender monkeys and metrosexuals are all atwitter at this...  toooo frigging bad.

My first handgun was when I was nine.   any 11 year old can handle a ar15 (not an assault rifle btw) it has little or no recoil.  I have never even taken an Ar down.   I would let her show me.   It would give her a sense of pride in accomplishment and some interaction with adults.   Probly you metrosexuals and your-0-peeeans would rather she open up a my space account and talk to perverts across the globe.

Shooting sports are demanding and get you outdoors and you will meet some of the best people on the earth out there..  not like the aholes you meet at a paris cafe or in a new york taxi.

man! I am getting hammered in here tonight

a .22 or a 410 is one thing but I think a AR-15 is a wee bit over the top. The girl is 11yrs old.

Why? Does the AR-15 have some special form of mind control powers that will cause her to go on a killing spree? Residue from the relentless, virtually fact-free gun control assault on military style semi-automatic rifles from nanny state politicians and the media?

Her and her father have made a fun challenge out of an involved process -- something that tests manual dexterity. And she does a good job (probably even beats dad) and is proud of her success and the approval from her father. What's wrong with that? It's probably her gun anyway and what better way to get involved in the maintenance.

Not that's I'd ever give my son an AR-15 when he's 11. I already bought the M1 Carbine and maybe a CMP Garand too. And if he likes to quickly disassemble and assemble the carbine he can do mine, while he's at it, and then see how fast he can get the fouling out He's 2 now, and while he's not into shooting yet he is enamored with the lawn mowing process -- another tradition I plan on encouraging and passing along to him at about age 11 or 12. Go son go, mow that lawn

BS. LMAO
The AR-15 is nothing more than a .223. Not much more recoil than an air rifle for Christ`s sake.
A great gun for someone her age to learn to shoot with. No recoil, light, small.
I was shooting side by side 12s and 06s at that age.
Give me a friggen break.

ok! ok! I give up already. I just find it strange that a 11 year old girl can shuck a machine gun down like rambo. I bet you guys wear cammo drawers too.

Don't have daughter, have 2 sisters and 5 nieces though. You cannot teach anyone enough about guns and self-defense to be genuinely useful unless they genuinely want to learn. It is not like changing the oil in your car every so often. The girl in question is substantially less likely to be raped and strangled with her own pantyhose than many women-were I her father, this fact would make me happy. It is a shame that women are less interested in guns and knives than men. They are smaller and weaker, and thus the favored targets of the predatory class, they NEED an equalizer more.

I didn't watch the clip, I thought it was just an AR-15?  Did she also work with a machine gun?  A Browning .30 or .50 cal?   Since the AR-15 isn't a machine gun, must have been something like that I guess.

Its not a machine gun, its a semi auto rifle that fires a varmint round.

And you wonder why your getting beat up?


You are sharing an opinion with the French guy in the thread!  Granted Straffo is a cool, but he is still French!

[moot]

I find very strange for an male adult to be fascinated by a not nubile girl.

  Those aren't tears.. I actualy snorted what I was drinking..

What friggen machine gun?

Only on holidays and special occasions.

[wrag]

I totally agree. Anyone who would teach their child that has some serious issues. She should be out being a kid in the tire swing or something. Not learning how to put together an assault rifle! What's wrong with you guys man? I'm all for gun rights but guns don't belong in the hands of children.

IIRC there were 14 year olds in the Revolutionary Army serving with George?

Many USED to begin teach their children about firearms as early as 6?

Yea it was some time ago but it did happen..........

[angelsandair]

Lets see her do that with a real mans weapon, like an M1 Garand!

Or a M-14

My father entrusted me with a .22 rifle on my 7th birthday.  He taught me how to shoot and maintain it, and left it in my care with a few boxes of ammo.  I decided to keep it under my bed.

Some 30 years later asked him about that - like what was his reasoning (btw nothing bad ever happened, I grew up to be a very avid & responsible gun owner).  He explained "Well son it's like when you see the mama bird push the baby bird out of the nest - there comes a time when you have to fly on your own".

It used to be that 7 years old was "the age of reason".   Times have changed...

Incidentally this was in Canada, back in the days when a rifle was seen as "just another fishing rod".

It completely amazes me how effectively the media has brainwashed people into being terrified of firearms.

[Megalodon]

I wonder if her Dad also taught her to walk right in front of a gun too?
It just shows what kind of respect she has learned.
