Apparently, CNN (who? I dunno, never heard of them either) seems to have a problem with Dads buying their kids guns for Christmas:
CNN began the article with a story of an Oregon dad, Paul Kemp, who bought a hunting rifle for his son, Nathan, when he turned 16 years old. Nathan had been hunting with his dad since he was 7 years old.
CNN then stated, “Parents looking to purchase a firearm for their child for the holidays have to balance their hopes for the gift with the risks that come with such a purchase, such as an accidental shooting, suicide or the gun being used in a crime.”
In an attempt to bolster their position, CNN said, “For example, the teenage school shooting suspects in Oxford, Michigan, and Winder, Georgia, allegedly used firearms they had received as Christmas gifts from their parents, and those parents have faced criminal charges.”
I don’t want to get into dueling statistics here, but I just wonder how many deaths have been caused by teenagers getting into road accidents with cars given them by their parents?
Never mind; giving guns to our kids for Christmas is a tradition that goes back generations, as these few ads prove:
Of course, as the Left hates the very concepts of both tradition and the family with a passion, these would be seen as pure evil.
Me, I just wish we could see more of them, updated for today’s market.
And I absolutely love this one:
…because as any fule kno, every man should have owned at least one Mauser in his lifetime.
