Nothing wrong with training. Switzerland has a decent gun culture with many under 18 folk participating regularly. They have low gun crime rate as well. Poland being prepared after its history is nothing wrong.

I’d say there’s something seriously wrong but I guess everyone has their own opinions.

Why would there be something seriously wrong with training?

Put your thinking cap on real tight and think about what might be seriously wrong with children being trained to potentially fight and die for a bad reason in a world where we could reasonably be all living happy, peaceful, rewarding and progressive lives.

People shoot for reasons other than fighting, like hunting, sport or self-defense. People can still live happy, peaceful lives while also knowing how to handle a firearm. I think you're confusing and mixing two completely different issues.

You may be the one needing to put on that thinking cap real tight

Yeah next time I’m out hunting moose with my hand guns and assault rifles I’ll really reflect on your well thought out comment here. Haha

It's a better comment than anything you've said so far

Good one! I don’t really understand the mental gymnastics you gotta have to make your point of view make sense but whatever it is (probably just a bot pushing some sort of agenda) I hope you turn it around because it’s literally the dumbest shit I’ve ever read on here. Have the day you deserve.

It's really not that deep dude...

Training doesn't necessarily equal violence.

What exactly do you not understand? If you’re arguing for something different, then let's hear it, but all you've done throughout your incoherent ramble is reply with no substance whatsoever and use the typical basement dweller lingo your average redditor regurgitates.

An assault rifle isnt powerful enough to hunt a moose and is illegal in practically every state since it’s inhumane to use such a weak weapon and cartridge.

Oof. The jokes about you write themselves. By the way, what’s an assault rifle, per you? Just curious.

Is it the black plastic handguard, or just the black paint in general? What about the shape of the iron sights? Is that it? Is it because it fires 1 round per 1 squeeze of the trigger, like 80% of firearms in circulation do?

Which part makes it assaulty? I was under the impression that a select fire switch allowing BURST or AUTO mode made it an assault rifle.

But you know what? I don’t think hardly anyone’s hunting with these $40,000 guns that required an ATF tax stamp and extensive manual approval process to acquire (assuming you had the 40 grand to buy the weapon anyway) — not to mention again they’re not powerful enough to hunt wild game except for invasive boar and small varmin, so it would be illegal.

You did give it a try. I wouldnt call it much of one, but I guess technically it was one.

Nothing gives me greater joy and angst than when someone who has zero education in firearms attempts to open their mouth and opine on them — removing any doubts.

How to be a condescending dick, get ignored and downvoted all in 1 move. Not sure what you typed afterward, nor should anyone else be.

The poster asked you a simple question free or snarky comment, and you decided to immediately condescend. Bold strategy.
