Definitely agree on the desire for a national law or constitutional amendment further protecting the right to keep and bear arms.
I disagree on the state's rights issue, but we pretty much killed that one on another thread just recently. We certainly don't need to beat a dead horse here.
I also disagree the gun for training - I agree that this may not be the best choice for appearances, but that shouldn't matter. A father has every right in the world to train his son as he sees fit without government intrusion. As long as the child is safe, it is irrelevant to the rest of the world what gun the father selected to use.
As far as rights and law, we are in agreement. The dad did nothing wrong and should have been left alone.
What I was getting at is that I think he used rather poor judgment in choice of training gun for an 11 year old.
Then there is the matter of adding camo to the pic. Well, cute pic of course, but you can teach your kid
to shoot for sport, for hunting, whatever, without bringing him into the imaginary realm of "combat soldier."
BTW, whatever happened to hunter's orange? What's the deal with camo this and camo that? Its like
our police and their tacticool toys mimicking an infantry division. At some point all those visuals DO influence
the rest of one's mind set.
