Isn&#8217;t that what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/apps\/news\/story.asp?NewsID=46954&amp;Cr=central+african+republic&amp;Cr1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warlords in sub-Saharan Africa<\/a> have been accused of doing with their child soldiers? Hasn&#8217;t this become <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unicef.org\/sowc96\/2csoldrs.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an issue for UNICEF<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Rebels in Mozambique started the use of children in the early 1980s. As the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/04\/29\/weekinreview\/29gett.html?pagewanted=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Times notes<\/a> in a story about child soldiers, they are the perfect weapon. Children are &#8220;easily manipulated, intensely loyal, fearless and, most important, in endless supply.&#8221; Could that be the reason Everytown Moms uses children as &#8220;arms&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>The real story here isn&#8217;t that the Target store manager told the Everytown Moms to move along which was nice. Rather it is the comments of the Everytown Mom&#8217;s &#8220;regional ambassador&#8221; regarding the organization&#8217;s use of children as tools in their war on civil rights. Children should not be used as tools or props or weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>UPDATE: <\/b>The picture below is from an Everytown Moms for Illegal Mayors protest outside a Target store in Pennsylvania. I count four &#8220;child warriors&#8221; in the picture with (what appears to be) a fifth on the way. Tell me that any of those kids is old enough to articulately explain why they are there and why they are protesting Target&#8217;s policy of abiding by local laws. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/beliefs-and-teachings\/what-we-believe\/catechism\/catechism-of-the-catholic-church\/epub\/OEBPS\/26-chapter9.xhtml#para1318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">While the Catholic Church may consider the &#8220;age of reason&#8221;<\/a> to be 6 or 7, I doubt you could extrapolate that to protesting for gun control.<\/p>\n<p>If I had to guess, the woman who is standing second from left is the leader of this little group. I wonder if she is being paid with Bloomberg money. Does anyone know who she is? <\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/mda-Child-warriors.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/mda-Child-warriors.jpg\" height=\"560\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everytown Moms for Illegal Mayors decided to hold a little protest at a San Antonio, Texas Target store.
