She's the coolest little girl at all of the militia meetings.

And she reminds me of Hermione/Emma Watson from Harry Potter Movies.. Go Hermione, why use a wand when you can have a machine gun!

It's hard to believe that someone might have interests other than mine. Those people must be crazy, nuts even. If everyone was like me, what a wonderful world this would be.

Is this a video of a father teaching his daughter how to play with his gun?

Give her seven more years and I think MG may be knocking on her door.

What's so * terrible about this? It's not like the weapon was loaded or anything and clearly the girl is having fun bonding with her father.

I agree. And if the dude's gonna keep a gun in the house, his daughter should know how to be safe around it... and that includes knowing how it works.

I'll upvote when the tags change. It's too bad more people don't understand that gun are less dangerous when proper education takes place.

I have nothing against guns myself, when handled properly. My dad was a hunter and I went to the gunranges with him when I was about 10. But, he had a shotgun, not a frigging semi-automatic!

To me, there is no reason why a little girl should handle a gun like that. I see she is having fun with her dad, but there is a reason why weapons like this should be kept locked all the time.

This is not your 'defend you house in case of a burglary' weapon. If you think I am wrong to put this under 'terrible', well, it made me feel pretty terrible. You want to change the tags, please help yourself, I am not doing it just to get your vote.

I can't upvote because of the "terrible" tag. There's nothing terrible about this video, IMO.

I agree with the idea that kids should be educated about weapon safety, especially of any weapons in the house.

However, the guns themselves are not less dangerous when children are educated.
The children just have a better chance at surviving around them.
I came to this conclusion when my son's very best friend (who had been not only trained in weapon safety, but was a sport shooter with his father, had won awards for contests, and always went hunting with his Dad) managed to shoot himself through the eye causing instant death. He was left alone in a vehicle with a loaded pistol while parents ran into the grocery store for a couple of minutes. He was about to turn 10.
I say this to remind people that kids are still kids, educated on gun safety or not. Trusting their education isn't enough and supervision around weapons should never be relaxed.
That's all.

Down on guns and know nothing of them types, would offer editorial on how to use a pick-axe properly, though they had never seen one or held one......

A tool around the home, the kid is smart and capable, she is interested in the tools around her home, as is her father.....called a relationship...

Impressive young one... most impressive.

She violated one major rule, never ever touch the trigger. Finger stays on the rail at all times. Even if the gun is unloaded.

Quick change to secondary solves this problem.

Tap and rack for stove pipes.

Guns are the tool in which this the united states was built. It evens the odds for some one who is inept at hand to hand combat.

A closer look at the girl, and she has a cell phone on her hip as well as what looks like a in belt holster for a pistol on her left side, our right side. Indicating she may draw with he left hand.

The tags for this are ignorant. Understanding and respecting a gun is critical to anyone who lives in a house they are stored. Good for her dad.
I received my first hunting license when I was a ten year old little girl and that required taking a gun safety course that has stuck with me to this day. If more children were educated about firearms there would be far fewer tragic gun fatalities in America.

ETA: She is totally Hermione Granger. Good call mintbbb.
