"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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
