While I agree this is good for her- she seems to have responsible parents who will make sure her interaction with guns is constructive.But, it is also true that by broadcasting this over the internet, children with less responsibility, familiarity with guns, or parental supervision will be more likely to be endangered because their curiosity will get the best of them. Teaching her this in private: cool. Showing this off to the world: worst idea ever. |

I'm not a pro gun nut, but I don't see anything wrong with her learning about them. It's the ones who don't understand and respect guns that cause problems. NOTHING is too taboo to learn about. I say, good for her. She will probably grow up to be a responsible gun owner. |

everybody that says this is horrible parenting and that this video is disturbing needs to realize that they are what is shaping today, because of you people like jumperjen that think guns are bad, you are the reason that the world today has so much wrong with it, this is very good parenting, i applaud that dad, people like jumperjen and kaizer are people that beleive that guns are bad and that violence never solves anything, i implore you to reconsider, take Germany for instance, decades ago, it was a country in war, fighting in the Central Powers for waht it believed in, then the US joined WWI and kicked its butt, now look at Germany today, its a happy little country with great people, violence did solve Germanys' dispute for the better, i am willing to bet that people that say guns are bad and such are going to vote for Hillary Clinton--- u sicken me. Hillary Clinton believes in putting all guns in community vaults to be held there and not for personal ownership. RON PAUL 2008! |

"this accualy probably IS good parenting. teaching respect of guns at a young age will defiantly de-crease her likelihood of gun-related crimes"Even if I'm not really a pro-gun person, I totally agree, saying that teaching a kid how to handle a gun safely is dangerous is like saying we shouldn't teach kids that driving recklessly is bad because, well, they could steal a car and have an accident. If you teach 'em about guns young (properly, not Hillbilly-shoot-an-apple-off-the-dog's-head-son style), safe behaviour will automatically kick in when they're around guns. Quick example: My father, being a cop, taught me about gun safety when I was younger, and now when I play a shooting game at the arcade, my finger instinctivly comes out of the trigger guard when I'm not shooting. Teaching kids to respect guns = good
Teaching kids to FEAR guns = bad |

thank you 153fish for pointing out women in the US cannot be drafted. also any responsible gun owner would have gun locks on there guns so someone (ie. their children) cannot just take a gun out and mess around with it, no matter how cool it looked on teh web. |

I seriously hope that was a joke, victor_watts, and even then it's in bad taste.As for the vid, I don't really see any harm in teaching a child about guns. If her parents let her mess around with them unsupervised, that's another matter entirely. |

And there I was thinking it was the father who calmly sits there doing that to a weapon when his 11 year old daughter so much as talks to a male...not the 11 year old daughter... |

There are a couple of things which we must realize:1) Under Constitutional Law, a female cannot be conscripted into the United States Military, no matter how old she is. 2) The AR-15 and the M16A2 are not the same firearm. Both were designed by Eugene Stoner, so the confusion between the two is marginally acceptable. Aside from those two, I say that this is a pretty cool little video. |

jumperjen how does living in north america have to do with anything
i doubt parents are stupid enough to leave their weaponds lying around somewhere where there kids could get it if they dont know how to use one
if there are parents that stupid those kids will probably get themselves killed somehow anyway
its not bad learning about guns |

Oh don't have a heart attack jumperjen. Seriously, what's wrong with learning about guns? I don't see anything wrong with it unless she isn't mentally stable...I think that's what's wrong with this country. Too many people trying to tell others what to do and not paying enough attention to their own problems :/ |

she's way too young for me, but, chicks+guns=teh hawtnessIt's not that difficult to field strip just about any firearm. Some are harder than others (smaller parts, etc.) but they still have the same basic assembly guidelines. The thing that really disturbed me was that when she was done and did the "function check" she set it down and walked in front of the barrel! NEVER do that, loaded or unloaded!

Sick. Those parents need to be charged with child endangerment! There is NO need whatsoever for: A) an 11 year old CHILD in North America to even have access to a weapon. And B) for them to have filmed it and posted it on the internet, where other kids her age will see that and think that its ok for them to get hold of their own parents weapons and play with them. How many accidental shootings are going to happen because kids thought that was "cool". Grow up, those of you thinking it was cool. This vid will contribute to many deaths of innocent kids, mark my words. |

Maybe she thinks Terminator 2 was a documentary and she's just getting ready for the machines? Either way Sarah Connors would be proud. |
