And the cuteness is that an 11-year-old girl can disband and assemble that gun???? I don't see anything cute in this... moreover, there is something scary...
And the cuteness is in the girl, not in the gun. Look at how happy and excited she is at the end when her father tells her it's only 53 seconds with function check. And there is nothing scary about firearms education, as long as it's properly done. She is not going to become a mass murderer. It's not the guns that make mass murderers, it's abuse, neglect, terror and pain. She seems to be a happy kid. And she'll be able to protect herself if need be.
And to finish it off, here's her on a pistol range. Her dad is probably ex-military or a police officer.
Do you mean I have fear for weapons? That's funny:))) No, no fear. I just wish we built a society where there is no use in killing other people... She can definitely train to do what she is so happily doing in those videos. I just hope that this ease of gun handling would not give her the ease to KILL (but to think twice). Even in self-defense (whatever that may be). I am more scared for the girl: can she live with the guilt if god forbid! she kills someone?
Anyway, there is no rule of what is right and what is wrong... I am just writing about what I think is not right. And I think it is not right to teach anyone to handle that gun so easily unless they are preparing to go to a military service. Hopefully she is also getting a good education about cases she can use it in...
