Full Auto Shoot..awesome!

Wow, that little girl looked like she was having fun

I find that a bit disturbing, she's a bit young to be fire a gun off, let alone a full automatic machine gun!!

Nah, it was pirched on a tripod and sand bagged so there really wasn't much danger. But I kind of hear were your comming from, why have kids that young even around an event like that

i thought mythbusters proved that you cant blow up a car by shooting at it...somone forward this to MYTHBUSTERS...haha

Or take their lives

They did, but the cars at the event were rigged with explosives and that is why they blew up.

That true, because kids are just as coordinated as adults so it is simply a matter of just education. Your completely right e_andree

Somebody watched Red Dawn one too many times.

Damn, you just want to argue too, and you'll also goto any extreme to make your points. You are not the person to be pointing the finger. Anyways I do actually beleive that children of that age are not coordinated enough to have full control of a machine gun. The girl did okay in the video but she could have easily lost control and someone could have got hurt or killed. I do have a gun in my house but its unloaded and in a safe spot and I don't have children in my house at the moment. If you want to argue something back then you probably should not accuse of me trying to argue when its the same thing that you are doing. Sheesh

Yeah your really trying to understand my logic and I'm the one getting snippy and defensive. Sureeeeeeeeee Dude, I like to argue with you because you are so blind to your own actions You often accuse people of doing the same thing as you which I find hillarious.

Anyways if you fail to see why coordination has anything to do with it then you must not shoot guns very often It’s pretty easy for recoil to mess with you. Also note that my argument about kids and guns was much generalized. The girl in the video with the tripod didn't seem to be in any immediate danger but my point is for kids and guns overall not just that one occasion. But I still don't agree with children that young being at an event with full automatic weapons and explosives. That just doesn't seem very cool to me. Disagree if you want and even continue to get snippy with me for disagreeing but this is just how I feel.

You can have the last word on this one e_andree, I won't fight anything you just said because I dont want to keep this going

no its not... its ummm ok it is eric.. I was just trying to start up a new one.. oh I failed...

Whats your point? My name is Jerry. But in Forums generally people go by an Alias? If you want me to call you Eric then I will. I have no problem with that.

How was that in any way defensive? I just simply stated that most people get called by an alias, that is why it is by each post instead of Eric and now I'm being defensive Wow, I think our biggest problem is were to much alike.

Perhaps, I bet we're both interpreting context completely wrong. I'll try to simmer down

Hey lets not get upset here.

Anyways guns are different than stoves, golden retrievers, and swimming pools.
The primary purpose of a gun is to kill living things. Big difference there.
I do get your point. I'm not really worried about the debate because I don't have a kid or a gun. When I do I'll probably teach my kid. Who knows.

haha this is fun.

Ehh, I don't really agree with that part.

The original puropose of a gun is still the same as today's purpose. Just because people USE them for other purposes does not change why they are made. Guns are designed and made to kill or wound a human being or animal. I can go take a minigun and take out a few trees, or I can go shoot cans at 100 yards with a rifle, but that does not change its purpose.


I would definetly teach my children about guns and the harm they can do. Personally I do not see the damage from a child firing a weapon like that in a safe and educational environment, under supervision. I do agree with Eric on that point.

Some of these statistics might be a good reason that not only should young kids be exposed to guns and the violence they are responsible for, but why anyone needs to own a gun besides law enforcement and military is beyond me.

And I'm not saying that educating kids abouts guns is a bad thing... but that doesn't mean you have to put a machine gun in their hands, and fire off thousands of rounds at a car to see it violently explode.

Explain to me why we should continue to expose children to extreme violence?
And then we wonder why youth today is involved in such violent crimes.

Granted she is not really playing with one and there is good adult supervision, that girl looks too young to be using a gun. If she is not old/mature enough to wrap her mind around the consequences of using one improperly, then she should not be behind one. She only looks 6-7 years old and in my opinion, its not acceptable.

This is all hypothetical, but...

Say a parent takes their kid to something like that. How would they know whether or not their kid knows where to find their gun and whether or not their child wants to show off their shooting skills to their friends.

And I'm willing to bet you the majority of these children and teens were living in households with exposure to fire arms (though probably poorly monitored). They were probably also raised around them knowing some of the consequences.

I agree with this... but if the gun wasn't in the house to begin with, and the child wasn't shown the gun and how to use it... most of these "accidental" deaths wouldn't occur.

but you're also right.. the right to bear arms is a whole different topic.

And how can you say the firing of a machine gun is not violent!? :superconf
The automatic gun was made to kill PEOPLE!!! it's violent in it's very existence!
It's intention was never for any other purpose then to KILL PEOPLE, the fact that she is firing it at a inanimant object doesn't take away the fact that it is an act of violence!
She's firing a violent type of weapon, with real ammunition at a vehicle that is loaded with explosives and BLOWS up in a violent burst of flames. How is this experience helping this child? I don't get it.

She's a very young girl, she should be playing with other young children, with barbies, and lego and other toys meant for her age. She should be learning how to speak proper english and spell her name. Not fire a fully automatic military spec machine gun.
