You know, there are low-information politicians and then their are anti-gun low-information politicians.
And then there’s Kirstin R. Running Hyphen Marquardt.
She was quoted by a local TV station as saying: “What this bill does, the bill before us, allows for 1-year-olds, 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds to operate handguns. We do not need a militia of toddlers. We do not have handguns that I am aware of that fit the hands of a 1- or 2-year-old.”
Running Hyphen Marquardt’s upset about a bill in the Iowa legislature that would repeal Iowa’s prohibition on under 14s even handling a handgun, even under careful adult supervision. The bill would allow youngsters to handle and shoot handguns under the supervision of a parent or guardian. It looks like it’s going to pass overwhelmingly – even over the hysterics of special snowflake social justice warriors like Running Hyphen Marquardt.
Again, all the bill does is allow for parents to make the choice if and when their child is mature and responsible enough to fire an appropriate handgun, instead of the state.
Why is Running Hyphen so upset over young people having an opportunity to shoot handguns?
See above. Because they will experience the fun and excitement of shooting and become life-long shooters.
