This family just makes me ill!

QuoteA Facebook photo showing one of the Duggar brood holding a shotgun as the family celebrated Christmas sparked dozens of comments arguing the wisdom of letting teens own firearms.

The photo shows Jedidiah Duggar, who turned 16 years old on Dec. 30, holding the 12-gauge shotgun in the family’s home.

I love how the gun barrel is held over 'christ' with the christ is born sign.. seems to perfectly appropriate. Jesus freaks and gun nuts going together hand in hand.

THAT GUY GETS A GUN? I'm 15 now!

Where's my gun!?! :butt:

Seriously, why give an individual who has impaired reasoned due to emotion and (religion) a FREAKING GUN!

Festive cheer does not help much.

More nitpicking: A rifle is not the same as a shotgun.
A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

I got a rifle for my 15th birthday and I've killed a lot of people. Most of them with a Browning M2 .50 HGB.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."
