Discussion: NRA Tweets About Kids Having Fun At Shooting Range After Uzi Accident

How about targets that look exactly like their brothers, sisters, and playmates?

You guys are horrible at marketing.

Targets that look like Disney villains, officially licensed if possible, would sell like crazy. Probably Voldemort too, if Harry potter is still hot.

The grown-up version are those Obama zombie reactive targets, and maybe a picture of Feinstein with horns or something.

Iā€™ll figure it out and make some calls.

Not bad. How about a ā€œgun cleaningā€ station where youā€™re always ā€œsurprisedā€ when the gun goes off?

Hereā€™s my suggestion: We start a killing jar. Every time an NRA gun nut accidently kills someone, the GOP has to increase the minimum wage by a nickel.

Any bets as to how long before the GOP puts a stop to the NRA?

The CBC radio program As It Happens had an interview with the gun ranger owner where the shooting occurred. It has to be heard to be believed.

His attitude could be summarized as ā€œMeh! Sh*t happens.ā€ and he didnā€™t seem upset at all nor did he plan to change the rules. The exact term he used was ā€œan unfortunate industrial accidentā€. Told that no other gun range they spoke to would allow a 9-year-old to fire an automatic weapon, he finally showed some emotion other than nonchalance. He basically called them liars and said that until yesterdayā€™s events, they all did.

Hereā€™s the mp3 of the interview: http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/podcasts/asithappens_20140827_61207.mp3

It was the sound of a man who knew he had people sign enough waivers that he could never be sued and realized that he couldnā€™t buy this kind of publicity. He knows, and heā€™s probably right, that thisā€™ll make him a fortune.

Being that it is mostly ex-military and ex-cops as instructors at the shooting ranges, can we hype something that is a hobby as gainful employment? I saw an interview with the range owner yesterday and it was as pathetic as this tweet, regarding children and safety.

On the other hand, down here in South Gun-nutistan (Texas), I know an awful lot of uber-crazy women that think like this. I have an otherwise normal, 60-ish friend who has never owned a gun. She recently decided that buying an AR-15 sounded like fun. WTF?

Funny when you put it that way. President Eisenhower wrote the MIC would kill your sons and daughter for a profit in going to war. Strange the survivors, of this mentality and other nuts, would kill their children at a profit center for guns.

These kids need to be prepared for the zombie apocalypse dammit! We donā€™t want them getting weak in the knees when a quick response is needed to mow down hundreds of flesh-eating monsters. Think, man!

Only from ā€œterroristsā€ and ā€œradicals.ā€ Rural white Republicans will be told they need not fear the coming confiscation, notwithstanding fifty years of propaganda telling them to fear just that, and theyā€™ll be made sufficiently scared to buy it.

What these clowns donā€™t understand is that you canā€™t give someone else permission to be negligent. Thatā€™s a contract thatā€™s contrary to public policy. If he thinks he canā€™t be sued because he got people to sign waivers, heā€™s in for a rude surprise.

the floor of the Stock exchange [/quote] There arenā€™t any people left on the exchange floors. itā€™s ALL done by computers. So there will only be bit-blood, no human death.

Donā€™t forget, there are more regulations to ensure manufacturing standards and provide safety and use instruction for toy guns than there is for real guns.
