That’s five-year-old Health Bryant learning how to shoot a gun on the front page of the Houston Chronicle this morning. The NRA held a huge meeting this weekend in Houston, encouraging folks to buy memberships for their kids and capping off the festivities with a “youth safety day” and Ted Nugent. The gun-rights activist told the crowd of about 70,000 that without guns “there would be no America, no Texas.” The message seemed to resonate—NRA membership hit 5 million during the three-day event, an increase driven by outrage says USA Today.
