In the USA kids with guns is taboo… in Russia it’s encouraged:
Children as young a five are sent on forced marches, given battlefield training, taught hand to hand combat, and how to use military equipment. 12 year olds are also taught how to fire Kalashnikov assault rifles and other small arms. During the clubs regular camps, some children are given the opportunity to parachute jump during their paratrooper training. The club appears to urge Russian parents not to wait until their child becomes a compulsive gambler, drug addict or alcoholic, before sending them to the club.

They’ll probably all grow up to be bloodthirsty murders though right? Oh wait they won’t. It’s good to see girls involved. I find it interesting the part about urging Russian parents to send their kids to this camp before they grow up to be compulsive gamblers, drug addicts, or alcoholics. Are those issues that huge in Russia, more so than in the US?
In a few of the pictures it looks like the AK’s are actually cast replicas, I could be wrong though.
What type of handgun is in picture #1 if you follow the link? Some type of training one?
Thoughts?
