Interesting. I guess when you're not picking them out of your own backyard it's easy to have that opinion. American privilege I suppose.

the few kids that get out to play with them while their parents aren't watching them or don't know what the little bomblets are get killed.

I love when we write off the innocent children that we kill as a "few kids".

And save that "assault riffle vs automatic riffle / magazine vs clip" nonsense for the gun forums.
