As part of a gun owning family, I’ve got a high respect for firearm ownership, as well as a strong tolerance for gun enthusiasts who appreciate the craft, as well as the history involved in gun making. I’ve
even shot a machine gun before. But this has got to be the dumbest idea ever, though it’s certainly not the first festival of arms.
City Republicans will be packing some serious firepower at their next party
fundraiser.Tired of the usual chicken dinners, the Manchester Republican Committee is
planning to arm supporters next month with Uzis, M-16 rifles and other automatic
weapons for a day of target practice at a Pelham firing range.“The thought just struck me one day: a machine gun shoot. What the heck?”
said Jerry Thibodeau, the committee chairman. … ..Twenty safety experts, called “range officers,” will be on hand
to load the guns and monitor the shooters, Shaunessy said. On-site instruction
will be required for all participants.“My first and foremost goal is that everybody who walks in walks out,”
Thibodeau said. …
Range officers and training notwithstanding, this is just nuts.
