Does anyone know??
The NRA fully supports children having guns. They even have their own webpage and magazine geared for kids.

Apparently, a felonious assault and attempted murder would be enhanced by the perpetrator being armed.

I get it.

If you're black, it's OKAY to be a felon.
If you're non-black, it's injustice to defend against a black felon.

Thank you.

It's legal for kids to own guns. The question is does the NRA support kids/17yr olds carrying guns. conceal carry is restricted to 21 and up.

If Martin had a gun he would have been found guilty of having murdered a neighborhood watchman. He would cost more to the taxpayers than his current costs.

Because he was a violent criminal, wanting them to be armed is like wanting a rapist to have a bigger penis. only those with evil intent would wish such a thing.

Trayvon Martin has no arrest record, how can you say he was a criminal let alone a violent one?

Did your dad ever take you hunting ? My sons (and I) started hunting rabbits, squirrels, etc at about 14 years old or earlier.
They never handled a handgun but small shotguns and as they got older a deer rifle.
You've got to be 21 to own a handgun. It's main use is as either target practice and to concealed carry.

The NRA supports kids learning to use appropriate firearms for their age.

Being a gang banger and carrying a 9mm at 16 is not appropriate or lawful.

The same gun nuts who brag about handling a gun at the age of 15.

Go figure
Ironic, ain't it?

Why would the NRA want to arm and already violent attacker?

He was underage and could not legally possess a handgun. Epic fail. What else have you/they got? That's rhetorical of course....
