awkward family photo

 

In this photograph there is a grandfather, grandmother and two grandchildren. They are standing outside in a backyard all dressed up for the family photo. The disturbing part about this photo is that the two children are holding guns. The grandson is in a tie and button down shirt but is holding a semiautomatic gun in his hands. The granddaughter is in a dress with a bow in her hair but she is holding a small handgun, Also the grandparents are smiling behind them like nothing is wrong! My attention is immediately drawn to the guns in the childrens hands. First of all this is extremely dangerous to let children handle weapons. The parents who are probably taking this picture are extremely bad parents and lack basic parenting skills. I immediately question their judgements as adults. Then I start to think maybe this photo is staged to get publicity and attention. It is hard to imagine something like this really happenening. But then again we are growing up in  a generation of people with messed up morals and no common sense.These might be some hilbillies out in the backwoods that let their children handle guns for hunting purposes though. But either way that is a private business and I dont think their should be public photos of their children with guns on the internet. My mother and brother both own guns so my position on gun ownership is you should be allowed to have them if you handle them correctly and safely. This does not look safe whatsoever.
