“I thought you might get a kick out of this photo. Posted on the doors of the Ontario County, New York Clerk’s Office. I’m sure those blind residents – who can read Braille – turned around, went back to their cars, and securely stored their weapons before entering the office. By the way, the county clerk’s office manages NYS Pistol Permits, our concealed carry licenses.”

I’ve got no problem giving machine guns to kids. I’ve been on a range before where small children were very responsibly and very safely enjoying some full auto firearms (an H&K MP7A1, FYI), but what we see here is very different. Even for adults, machine guns can be difficult to control and need close supervision when firing them for the first time. In this case, someone thought it would be a grand idea to hand a full auto AK-47 to a 10 year old, not show them how to properly hold it, and filmed the whole thing. It was… cringey. The person filming the whole scene barely escaped perforation, which is either lucky or unfortunate depending on how you see things.

“We support the Second Amendment. We have gun owners in our organization. We know that many NRA members are responsible gun owners, and we are calling on them to help us create safe laws for everybody. The NRA leadership has just gone too far to the extreme.” – Moms Demand Action’s Kathleen Chandler Wright in Gun control advocates to protest NRA [at tennesseean.com]
