Bad parents + guns

[KoopaKGB]

Don't worry, its not loaded.

Searched INGO to see if this was posted anywhere. Seeing this brought a few conflicting reactions to mind. First I thought it was absolutely despicable. Then I realized I probably shouldn't be so upset at the way others parent their children. My concluding emotion? Somewhat funny. Thought I'd read other's ideas on it.

Let's hope it's an Airsoft or something.

I would be concerned about their parents just because of the child's safety... No way to treat a firearm...even if it is an airsoft gun

At least proper trigger discipline is being shown.

There's a gun in the pic??

Nah, you won't want any of that. If she thinks that's acceptable behavior she's about as dumb as a sack of rocks.

That has to be an airsoft, by the way. That gun would be too heavy for the child to hold like that.

That and the diameter of that barrel has to be close to .45 and it appears to be a Beretta....

Devil's advocate: would your opinion change if it was a starter (blanks) gun? With a solid barrel?

Having had a couple of friends who have taken their own lives, I find very little humor with anyone, even (or especially) a baby, sticking a gun in their mouth.

Looks like 2 guns to me. ( . ) ( . )

I'm always up for a good boobies joke.

Notice the word GUN in it. It's loud and has a lot of gas. It's still not something to play with.

 

[CitiusFortius]

We often yell at the left because "assault weapons" look scary. Is this us doing the same thing? If the baby was a drooling over a GI Joe gun, toy gun that lights up, nerf gun that does shoot a projectile?

Wondering where the line is drawn. Or is the consensus: anything that resembles a gun should be locked in a safe?

Huh? The way others "parent" their children directly affects your world for the rest of your life. They become the losers you have to carry forever.

Yes, you should be so upset.

No it wouldn't, I'm not saying to get child services involved or anything. But I still would question their parenting...

So when was that picture taken and where is the news story about her being arrested and the kid taken away? I mean, that's what happens nowadays in this PC world we live in right?

Personally it's none of my business if her kid puts a gun in her mouth, real or not. Who knows, maybe there's an untapped market for firearm pacifiers.
