YOU'RE KIDDING! NRA Pushes GUNS ON KIDS As Young As Newtown Victims In SICK 'Youth Day'

[Segami]

The National Rifle Association capped its annual convention Sunday by hosting a “Youth Day” — enticing youngsters to attend by offering free six-month memberships. Billed by the NRA as a family-fun outing, the event drew hundreds of kids. Some of the attendees were the age of the Newtown massacre victims, others too young to know the difference between a toy gun and a real one.


“Spend the day exploring 400,000 square feet of exhibit hall containing over 550 exhibitors from across the country. Share the excitement with spectacular displays and fun-filled events for the entire family,” the NRA wrote on its website.

1. I'm not sick - see - guns are a GREAT family activity

We need to teach respect for guns...by making them everyday things.

Or something like that....

2. “I like it because I like the smell of gunsmoke,”

Trent Mattison, 51, of Beaumont, Tex., watched proudly as his 5-year-old son, Cooper, practiced shooting at the air-soft rifle range.

“I like it because I like the smell of gunsmoke,” said Cooper.



“This is indoctrination,” said Jose Sequeiros, 67, of Houston. “These kids are too young to see that guns are wrong.”



“I like guns because guns are fun,” said 9-year-old Kaykay Mace, who attended the NRA Youth Day with her dad, Scott, and big sister, Calla, 11.



Scott Mace, 37, called the event “a fun thing to do.”



Calla Mace said she enjoys going to gun ranges and bragged, “I’m a pretty good shot.”
“I’ve shot a .22 rifle before and a handgun,” Calla said.

4. The NRA is the GSL.

Gun Sales Lobby.

If there are any ways to sell guns, the GSL will do it.

5. So our well-regulated militia will have kids in it?

Or they will use these for self-defense? Really? What a hypocritical society we are. It's a collective failure.
