So, a question for CNN’s Jim Acosta: Who’s the better parent? The father who trains his son how to safely operate an AR-15, or the father who raised the Uvalde school shooter (feel free to put quotation marks around “father” and “raised”). We’re hearing that Daniel Defense pulled its booth at the NRA annual meeting after it was learned that the Uvalde school shooter used one of their rifles in his killing spree. CBS News’ Robert Costa noted that there are other manufacturers with booths at the NRA convention, which is just “a few hundred miles away” from Robb Elementary School.
Directing outrage anywhere but at the shooter himself, Acosta was triggered that Daniel Defense had advertised its guns to parents.
The maker of the gun used in Uvalde posted an ad showing a child with an AR-15 style rifle. Ad says: "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Refers to a Bible proverb. Here's one: "we reap what we sow."https://t.co/Am43rxFSO3

So, is Acosta saying his political beliefs are guided by the Bible? That would be interesting.
Nothing wrong with teaching a child about firearms. Years ago I dated a divorced man with 2 young sons. He taught them how to hunt, how to use the rifles & how to maintain them. But he also taught them not to use firearms to shoot people except in self defense. They were…

…never to be used to settle a score or for anything else. His sons turned our well. One is a state trooper.

Train your kids to fight or they will be slaves to those who know how to fight.

This video is a few years old (and has almost 8 million views), but we thought Acosta might want to see this too:
Just because some journalists can’t fire an AR-15 without getting “temporary PTSD” doesn’t mean a 7-year-old girl can’t.
