Review of Nightline’s Young Guns

Photo: Tonight on Nightline - Does teaching kids to shoot guns make them safer? Tune in for the full report at 12:35AM ET -

 

The episode begins with children shooting guns at the range, everyone is happy, the trainer is dead, and they interview Niki Jones of Austin Sure Shots, a women’s only shooting club. Then they mention that the NRA invests in shooting programs, then they covered the rules of gun safety, and then Nightline starts mentioning how often a kid or teen is killed by a gun.

I didn’t appreciate them interviewing gun haters as well, but I’m glad they interviewed Gia Rocco, a talented young shooter.

Yet in spite of the propaganda, here are the most popular comments on Facebook.

Sorry anti-gunners, you may have jobs in television, but you do not control public opinion.  Overall, the beautiful pictures of kids with guns will perhaps inspire other parents to take them to the range.
