It is not always a bad thing to give a child a gun to hold. I was given my first loaded weapon to hold at age eight, after it was drilled into me how dangerous a badly handled weapon could be.

I have grown up with a great deal of respect for the danger of firearms in the hands of untrained people, and I have never gone on a killing rampage nor committed any gun or any other weapon crime because I was made aware at an early age that all weapons are dangerous, and must always be handled with care, and respect.

I know the anti gun lobby will not support this view, and I await there screeching boilerplates. Weapons can only kill when in the hands of people.

The second one might be a little cheesy but I think it's funny having everyone in dinner wear holding so many puppies. I'm sure their friends in family got a laugh out of it, I'd say that one's a win...

The top one too, I don't see what's bad about it. Again, I bet the family got a laugh out of it. Where was Rambo Santa Clause when I was a kid?

I looked through the rest of the photos, I can't believe you posted those two out of all of them on here. Those are the only two normal (by that I mean not satirically pitiful) The rest, dear god, the hair, the christmas sweaters and the awkward poses. Oh and don't forget lingerie grandma in the one... The rest of them remind me of my childhood and everything we all try to forget. I'm surprised the people still had the pictures to submit them, most people burn the evidence of so many different horrible style choices back then all compounded into one day.



Kudos to those that posted them though! I still hide my christmas albums from back then.

Yeah, I hope my dad is smart enough not to post our are wacky x-mas photos.

The grandma one was a little cheesy. ROFL... I couldn't stop laughing at that one.

I take your point, but I maintain that when properly supervised children can be taught to respect weapons, and thereby learn responsibility, after all if cars are driven irresponsibly they become lethal weapons.

the kid in the first story has his father and an instructor standing beside him when he shot himself in the head and died. how much supervision are you talking about.


(just a word of advice. i have heard all the catchphrases of the pro gun people over and over and over. it just gives the impression that all the folk that use them have been brainwashed.)

As I said in my reply to MH I have heard all the Boilerplate of the Anti-gun lobby, and they sound like brainwashed trash to me, so I advise you to take your own advice
