Children and Firearm Safety

Children And Firearm Safety Children and guns are simply a bad idea. Your average firearm is too unwieldy for a typical child to operate in a safe and effective manner. Children are much better suited to crew served weapons. The semi stationary characteristic of a mortar or heavy machine gun relies less on the child's physical strength and stamina and also builds teamwork.

A mock safety infographic shows children paired with ordinary firearms, resulting in a thumbs-down symbol, while two children paired with crew-served weapons, including a mortar or heavy machine gun, result in a thumbs-up. The joke is the absurdly serious claim that children should use large stationary weapons because they require less individual strength and encourage teamwork, making it a reaction to dangerously misguided or ironic advice.
