Still have the trophy. How this group has evolved over the past few decades is beyond disturbing. Literal psychopaths now &#038; no doubt call yourselves Christians. Yeah, since Jesus was big into weapons of death,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AwBlessYerHeart\/status\/1391526941862375430?s=20\">tweeted<\/a> one user.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat Child lacks the ability to make a fully cognitive and decisive choice during a time of action. Scientists, biologists, and psychologists all completely agree with that fact. Putting a gun in her hand at that age for daily life, effectively guarantees she will kill,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JasonstvrGaming\/status\/1391560104202444802?s=20\">tweeted another<\/a> user. \u201cI am not talking about gun respect and gun education. My brothers and I had that and we have gun respect and knowledge. But\u2026I am talking about the implication of an armed child walking around daily with that killing device. Children lack enough life experience to decide death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some people supported the photo, noting their experiences with guns as children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI grew up with guns around that age as most of my friends. Never have I thought of taking one to school or shooting someone. It comes down to teaching right from wrong and respect of the weapon. Opinions from people who think all guns and people are bad mean nothing,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/plantrat49\/status\/1391463621830529026?s=20\">tweeted<\/a> one user.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay seem BS. I was taught how to shoot a when I was 8. Never shot any kinda of rifle until 2017. Train them young and be responsible. From the looks its [sic] a tactical 22LR rifle,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BilliamsGaming\/status\/1391585747778560001?s=20\">tweeted another<\/a> user.<\/p>\n<p>Gun rights advocates have long-encouraged gun owners to teach their children gun safety at an early age. According to NRA Family, the best time to teach a child about guns is when they first start showing interest in them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren who are interested in a subject are capable of learning more quickly than anything known to man,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrafamily.org\/articles\/2019\/11\/4\/how-to-tell-when-your-child-is-ready-to-learn-about-guns\/\">writes Jeff Johnston for NRA Family<\/a>. \u201cSo the best time to teach a child about guns is when he or she has expressed interest in them. In other words, if a child isn\u2019t naturally inquiring about going shooting or wanting to see Mommy\u2019s or Daddy\u2019s gun, it isn\u2019t time yet. Maybe he or she will never get there. At some point, it\u2019s this writer\u2019s belief that all kids of adequate mental capacity should learn gun safety\u2014after all, there are 300 million guns in America, and being ignorant about them is akin to being unable to swim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
