Amazing story. Colorado Cub Scout Ames Mayfield was given an assignment to research and ask a question on an issue that impacts his community. During a Q&A with CO State Senator Vicki Marble he asked: "An issue that I’m concerned about is common sense gun control. I was
shocked that you co-sponsored a bill to allow domestic violence offender
to continue to own a gun. ... Why on Earth would you want somebody who
beats their wife to have access to a gun?”
And his Cub Scout troop kicked him out for being disrespectful! Never mind that it's disrespectful to all the women murdered by abusive husbands because they continue to have legal access to guns. And it's more than disrespectful to them; it's criminal to allow such known abusers access to a gun. Fortunately not all Scout troops are so regressively and inhumanely ideological. The kid was invited to join another Boy Scout troop.
