People like these are why the government feels the need to make laws to protect us all from ourselves. It's disgraceful.

Some of those are pretty disturbing. I actually ducked when one of them swept the direction of the camera. :roll:

that gets the "very disturbing" rating...

the one where the little kid pulls the pistol and shots the man in the suit (up close) made my heart jump a beat...
UGH!

"lessons on what NEVER to do"
Be particular, and be vigilant, as the enemy will only attack on two occasions:
When you're ready or when you're not ready.

Also never forget, that everyone who shows up, is not necessarily there to help.

I would rather carry a gun every day and never need it. Then not have one when needed

I had to stop watching. I don't care how good you are or how supervised the kid is, but a gun in the hands of a TODDLER????

And I bet the camera man thought it was really funny to hand some of those young ladys a high powered rifle and say; "It won't kick at all!"

Although, the barrell falling off that 50 cal (?) was chuckle inducing.

I briefly looked into whether the toddler shooting was real. Looks like it was:

Yep, it was. If memory serves me it was at a spannish wedding and the kid shot his father. I might be wrong but I don't think so.

I did 10 minutes of research and that led me to the link above of someone who did more research. It looks like it happened in Syria but there are several other countries named on the net. The father who was killed seemed to have the habit of shooting his gun in the air on special occasions. It looks to me that it's possible the kid was modeling the father's behavior rather than just 'playing'.

I did not find any verifiable facts so take the above for what it's worth.

What's odd is why the camera man didn't yell 'Mohammed the kids got a gun'. :confused:

Of course there's a whole lot of 'odd' in the above clips.

Give an idiot a gun or a video camera, can disaster be far behind? How counterproductive is it to let your girlfriend fire your gun improperly, hurting her in the process, if she was my daughter; I'd introduce these punks to Captain Whupass.

I agree. I'm not a big fan of this either. I find it very sad that there are a couple of TV shows that air clips similar to these for laughs. I'm just not into watching others make fools of themselves and get hurt for the benefit of others -- unless of course its Jackass. Now those guys have this down to a science and they know what they are doing.
No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...
