You may not have noticed, but on Tuesday huge cheers boomed out of every nursery school classroom in the commonwealth.
Four-year-old boys
and girls wept in happiness and relief. They’d been so scared of losing
their gun rights they couldn’t concentrate on learning their ABCs.
Thankfully, the National Rifle Association came through for them again.
The source of their fear was a nasty bit of legislation introduced by (who else?) a liberal lawmaker from (where else?) Northern Virginia. His name is Sen. Adam Ebbin. He’s from Alexandria and obviously, he’s a Democrat.
Existing Virginia law allows a
child younger than 12 to use a gun under adult supervision. Had Ebbin’s
bill passed, it would have been illegal for an adult to allow a child
under 5 to use a gun under any circumstances.
In other words, Ebbin wants to
limit tykes’ gun rights. From this we can conclude either that 1) he’s
against hunting, the shooting sports and self-defense for preschoolers;
or 2) he dumbly forgot to consider those factors at all — in a state where hunting is a constitutional right.
What the heck is a 4-year-old
supposed to do when a child molester comes after him? Run? That won’t
work. The predator’s legs are longer.
Tattle to an adult? That’ll
increase chances the kid will grow up a sissy. He’ll be an object of
scorn and bullying when he gets to high school.
