Additionally, he wasn't LOOKING at the gun, he was shooting it. It was perfectly legal for this child to shoot a gun like that as long as he is supervised by an instructor and has a parent's permission.

How absurd is that? Can an eight year old buy liquor? Cigarettes? Drive a car? That's all illegal. However, feel free to let him shoot an Uzi.

I love people who want to legislate who I can marry, whether I can have an abortion or not, but don't you dare legislate this deadly weapon I want to own.
