I thought of that 60 Minute story today when I read a story about a gun range in Texas that is hosting children's birthday parties. Most of you Second Amendment (pro) gun folks will say that there is nothing wrong with this, but it sure seems like Chuck E. Cheese would be a better spot for the rugrats to get busy to me.
I can't stress enough how much our culture of guns and violence is destroying our society.
"A new gun range opening this summer in Lewisville, Texas, will have two rooms available for hosting children's birthday parties. Owner David Prince tells WFAA that the Eagle Gun Range will be available for children as young as eight years old.
"The age limit is eight years old. You have to be tall enough to get above the shooting table," Prince said. "They're not gonna be left unattended. Parents are gonna be one-on-one, or if there's not enough parents we'll have range safety officers here to show them how to do it safely."

While it may seem unusual to celebrate pairing young children with guns, it's not an entirely unique practice. Last November, an Arizona gun club hosted a day of Christmas photos, where children could post with a man dressed as Santa Claus—and semiautomatic weapons. That event reportedly drew hundreds of attendees.
The soon-to-open Texas gun range has reportedly been well received by locals, though some nearby residents say they are opposed to letting such young children handle live firearms. [Source]
I don't think that when the Second Amendment was adopted into the Bill of Rights in 1791 eight year old children were to be a part of that "well regulated Militia". But hey, that's just me.
Speaking of children, can one of you Negroes explain to me what the hell is going on with our children? Please look at this facebook posting and tell me what is going on here, because I must have missed the part in school where they said it was cool to have children out of wedlock.
There are now reality shows on television glorifying teen pregnancy, and the four sick young ladies on this facebook page is the end result of that type of sick misplacement of our priorities.
My man Sharif wrote a post about "Speaking To The Youth" on his new blog, but I have to wonder if speaking will help. Honestly, when I see stuff like this, I want big mama to take a switch to their ignorant behinds.
Finally, I am staying with the children's theme:
*
Is anyone in America looking for *this child? We never stopped looking for Etan Patz, why should Hassani Campbell be any different?

The link to the Facebook page actually goes to an Etan Patz article. Please fix - I'm very curious.
I don't find anything wrong with teaching a young child how to safely and effectively handle and operate a long gun. Something like a small-caliber rifle or a BB gun, even. Just as long as you instill in your child that GUNS ARE NOT TOYS and they should never be handled as toys.
I was never allowed to have those cap guns or even some of the more-realistic-looking Nerf guns as a kid. They promoted the association of guns as toys. Then there's the problem of trigger-happy cops seeing a young black kid with a red-tipped cap gun. It's bad enough you'd get lit up for having a cell phone or a wallet. Or nothing at all.
It's the whole "gun fetishism" thing that kids should be steered away from. Which is why this "birthday party at the gun club" thing is, frankly, dangerous. Guns are not a fetish -- they're tools and they should be respected as such.
Mack Lyons actually wrote a post that didn't whine about white people and even sort of made sense.
Thought I'd seen everything.
What a heartbreaking situation!
Jeff Halls child needs help not incarceration.
A 10 year old is not mature enough to have developed a value system and/or social judgement other than that which he has been taught up to that point by his parents or caregivers as the case may be.
He manifested the only thing he's seen and learned up to now in his short life. Violence and guns as a way to solve issues.
There is hope for a 10 year old. Hope that all the toxicity can be replaced with other thoughts and behaviors.
While I don't think this can happen in a prison, judging from the stalling of his grandma when asked if there was still Nazism in the family, perhaps he's better off there for a while until he can mature and gain understanding.
My prayers are with that child tonight.
I do want to qualify though that I am an advocate of safe gun ownership and target practice.
Those that live in rural areas understand the many hunting opportunities, and yes I think children should learn safe gun handling and target practice also.
Here in PR many people own guns and rifles to use for hunting pigeons, boars and wild pigs, giant iguanas, wild goats and deer.
We have legally owned a gun for many years and no ones been hurt by it, nor will anyone ever be :)
So everything is relative isn't it.
Field, a little thought evoker for you.
DC has very strict gun control laws. You need to be really connected to ever think of getting to practice your constitutional right of self defense. Yet DC's murder rate is 80.6 per 100,000 compared to the place right next door where law abiding citizens who go through a rigorous background check can carry for self defense Arlington, VA’s , the murder rate there is 1.6 per 100,000.
You see this all over the country, Philly (whats the current murder rate in Philly now?) , New York etc. All the places with strict gun control laws seem to keep the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens so they cannot defend themselves but somehow the criminals are all fully armed and don't hesitate to make the inner cities crime ridden hellholes.
Its a given fact the more gun control laws the city has the more homocides by gun are incurred. Most criminals dont want to work hard and in places where citizens are known to protect themselves they seek softer prey and move to a place like Philly.
I live in Texas and I'll be taking my 10 yr old son to the range soon to teach him how to operate a small caliber hand gun. I'm a licensed concealed handgun carrier and want to be able to have the opportunity to protect myself and my family. Illinois has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country yet every weekend you hear about people getting shot up. Hell the criminals are armed to the tee and yet law abiding citizens I guess should just be victims. To hell with that.

Many in rural Pennsyltucky teach gun safety to their children...and are ardent Second Amendment proponents. I would posit that the root cause for the violence lies elsewhere. I also see that a gun in the hands of PooPants Loser is far more dangerous.

I read the "Speaking to the Youth" post.
Very insightful, and that is exactly the question.
Who is speaking to our youth? There's a lot of talking that goes into child rearing.
I think that when/if, one substitutes the TV, radio, movies,etc. and forgets to do the talking, the instilling of values and morals etc. Then the TV and that media becomes the teacher. and that's a def no no.

Not even close to accurate. Most of these laws obviously were written in congress. Anyway, now with all this protection, who needs to pay unions so they can feed the corrupt officials who make millions off our dues for doing absolutely nothing and gaining us absolutely nothing.
Unions way back in the day were a great thing. Now they are a bloodsucking Dinosaur led by Mafia wannabes who want nothing but your money amd with all these laws they get you nothing. Could be why unless they are forced to more than half of people run from Unions and the mandatory dues - kickbacks to the bosses.
Desert, "I do want to qualify though that I am an advocate of safe gun ownership and target practice."
My dear Desert, I am surprised that you own a gun. You are such a sweet woman worth sailing the ocean for. But now that I know you own guns and know how to use them I am having second thoughts.
I have never owned a gun and I never will. Although I am probably the only person in Oakland who doesn't own a gun. Lord have mercy on us.
Ha ha! Anon, my guns are kept in a safe place
Don't worry ;)

Generally speaking, it's not the children who are going to shooting ranges with parents or hunting or the like, who are causing mayhem.

If Europeans didn't have weaponry of any kind with which to kill, they'd be stepping on their beards and fur, beating-up on everyone they encountered. Then they'd rape 'em and find a way to kill 'em. Their the most murderous folks on the planet with everybody; Africans are the most murderous with each other, along with their multi-colored brothers. Bottom line, man is bat-chit out of his mind with no relief in sight.
"Their" should be "They're". I know the difference, just type too fast sometimes.

The best bet is to stay in moms basement and let her continue to bring in your public assistance meals and keep you nice and warm. It is too complicated for you outside.
Keeping on topic, here is a funny video gone viral about a guy dressing up as a Zombie and chasing people. This is right after the flesh eating attack in Florida.
Note at the 2 minute mark who pulls out a gun and turns it sideways when he points it.
I guarantee the way he holds the gun his parents never took him to the range to learn how to use the tool safely and effectively and provide the parental support that this is indicative of.
Somehow I suspect he isn't licensed to carry and has had a background check conducted. But overwhelming odds have it that his victims wont be legally armed citizens, they fight back.

Guns don't kill people, dangerous minorities do.
I don't know field, I saw that story and the kid was acting out before he shot his Nazi Dad. Usually when a kid is starting fires and fighting at school, there is a problem at home. Obviously there was a huge problem at this childs home. 60 Mins did there best to potray the Victom as a loving Dad, but this guy was teaching his children hatred and my guess is he was letting it be known it's okay to be violent against certain types of people. So the kid thought violence is the way to resolve issues. I feel so sorry for kids born into these situation becasue they don't stand a chance of becoming apart of civilized society. By the way I had to chuckle when Grandma says she won't teach him any more Nazi stuff, from now on only conservative Republican brainwashing will go on.

there is no difference between a nazi and a commie execpt that the commies killed more people than the nazi.conservatives are not nazi we live with in our means and expect the gov.to do the same. i never thought that i would ever agree with anything on blog but i do on second amendment rights because it is the idiot population that commits all the murders.
The unspoken truth about areas such as The Bluff in Atlanta isn’t that it’s low on city services—it’s nearly devoid of worthwhile human capital. If the 1960s “civil rights” movement benefited anyone, it was the black professional class, because it allowed them to escape into better, mostly white areas. It left the black lumpenproles to fester in urban quadrants that devolved into living horror movies such as The Bluff and modern Detroit.
A question the well-funded sociologists and overpaid politicians never seem brave enough to pose is why conditions always seem to degenerate when an area becomes majority-black. It’s deemed hateful to ask why Haiti melted into putrefaction after they slaughtered all the French or why Zimbabwe went to seed when they started decapitating the white farmers. Scanning the globe, it’s hard to deny that conditions are better for blacks when they’re around whites than when they aren’t. Why is that? It’s an honest question based on honest observations. One needn’t inject “hate” into that question—or maybe one does, if one wants to avoid the question altogether. And until one can ask that question without fear of being charged with a hate crime—or at least a career-destroying thoughtcrime—there will never be answers for places such as The Bluff.
Hassani Campbell was betrayed by those closest to him who alone know where his little bones rest.
In 90 percent Black Detroit, half of the street lights are about to be turned out:
Detroit, whose 139 square miles contain 60 percent fewer residents than in 1950, will try to nudge them into a smaller living space by eliminating almost half its streetlights.
As it is, 40 percent of the 88,000 streetlights are broken and the city, whose finances are to be overseen by an appointed board, can’t afford to fix them. Mayor Dave Bing’s plan would create an authority to borrow $160 million to upgrade and reduce the number of streetlights to 46,000. Maintenance would be contracted out, saving the city $10 million a year.
Detroit's white population left, leaving Black people in control of their own - proverbial - destiny, free to completely control the city council and every public service (fire, police, city hall, public schools, water board, etc) job in the city. In 2012, 90 percent Black Detroit resembles what happens when Black people are left in charge of a major metropolitan area for 40 years.
There's a saying that, "when the last white person leaves a [any city, county, or nation] to be sure to turn the lights out." In Detroit, there is no need for this: Black people lack the capacity (or industriousness when it comes to entrepreneurship) or adroitness in terms of maintaining a civilization to even bother with trying to help keep alive the spark of hope.
Prometheus once gave fire to man, and for that, he was punished. With Detroit in 2012, we see a world that Prometheus himself couldn't bring light too. Because we can't discuss the real reason for 90 percent Black Detroit has failed (it's not because of Democrats), we are all punished, with an increasing number of cities and counties across America doomed to share the same fate as "Mogadishu of the West."

Well, it's deemed hateful because your statement ignores why the French slavemasters were killed (you know their atrocious bondage system), and vastly overstates the fate of the white settlers in Zimbabwe who primarily suffered economic instead of physical harm.
Zimbabwe, or as it is for now, Mugabeland is an old fashioned post-colonial warlord kleptocracy that used to be a colonial kleptocracy. No one comes out looking good in that story.
Haiti was broken over the course of the 19th century by the ruinous indemnity forced on the by the French with US backing. By the time that was finally paid off, the pattern was set great people with a shit government.

"great people with a shit government"
Really Whitey? 208 years is not long enough for the great people of Haiti to get their shit together?
Haiti was the richest colony in the New World. Todays it is the poorest country in the New World.
And blaming the French for anything that happened in Haiti after 1804 is bullshit. From 1791 to 1804, the Haitian Revolution destroyed slavery, white supremacy, and French colonialism in Saint-Domingue. Jean-Jacques Dessalines executed the remnant of the French population on the island. More importantly, Europeans were banned under the Haitian constitution from owning property in Haiti.
The ban on Europeans owning property in Haiti lasted from 1804 until 1918 when a new Haitian constitution was passed under the American occupation.
Haiti today is the creation of the Haitians.

A shit government by, for and of Haitians. No one else, Haitians.
People who literally budget for more than half of the entire year base on white americas contributions. Yes America intervened awhile back because like always in black nations they were slaughtering each other.
We always look at what is going to happen to the US should Whites continue to decline, Detroit, Atlanta, Camden, Philly - but what you disengenious insanely myopic liberal apologist fools never seem to connect the dots with is how will the rest of the world fare? When White America can no longer support All Black nations that it feeds and provides medicines to, it's going to be hell being black.
Liberal disengenious white liberal apologists have to be the most disgusting creature on the face of the earth. Their policies cause suffering and hardship while claiming they feel for the people they claim are incompetent, then when the shit hits the fan they shrug all responsibility off and blame the ones who have been providing support all along.
Whitey, you are nothing more than a poverty pimp.

Thank you. Exactly. I am so tired of hearing how Traydemark was a "victim". He wanted a fight, he went looking for a fight, and he got what he was looking for.
And as far as the crap coming from the Scheme Team that "this could have been prevented if ....(Zimmerman had never left his truck, etc)" how far back do you want to go? What-if doesn't matter. Traydemark was the aggressor and his mark refused to be a victim. "This could have been prevented if .... Sybrina Fulton had kept her legs closed" since she, like most blacks, had no clue on how to be a parent and raise a future productive member of society.
@Paul Kersey:
Thanks again for so brilliantly cataloguing, in undeniable clarity, black pathology and disfunction.
The Liberal press are all up in arms in Toronto over the comments in the news articles about the recent black-on-black shooting in the crowded Eaton center. The Canadian government has done studies, and black immigrant never fully assimilate, and never become fully productive members of a first-world Western civilization, so they are restricting immigration from the Caribbean, Haiti, Africa, etc. However, the Liberals still get upset when astute observers point out the obvious - no matter where they are, or how much is handed to them, or how much "uplifting" (Affirmative Action, set-asides, aid, etc) the result is the same. It's a waste of time and effort. People are finally speaking up and saying enough!
