NRA: "It's Her Right To Accidently Kill People"



NRA responds to 9-year-old’s fatal Uzi accident:
Kids should ‘have fun at the shooting range’


“If children continually shoot the same bull’s-eye target, they can become tired, exhausted or bored,” wrote Women’s Outdoor News’ Mia Anstine. “As the boredom sets in, the effort that goes into shooting can deteriorate.”

To those people it appears to be an honor to die at the business end of a gun...except fighting in a war and all....

I do not see any reason for children to be on shooting ranges with these weapons, she was not strong enough to handle the gun. Another time LaPierre's statement of a good person with a gun does not solve this problem. A young life forever challenged because of someone's need to have guns in the hands of children too young. In home shootings occur much to often when young children get access to weapons and shoot another.

She's just using bullets to express her opinion.
