Keeping kids safe, so they can shoot guns

Governor Doyle is set to sign a bill passed by the Legislature that would require all kids ages four through seven to be in booster seats while riding in a car. This is a smart thing to do since car seat belts are not designed to protect small children and too many kids end up hurt or dead every year because they are not in booster seats.

So why does the legislature also want to let these kids carry a load gun right after they get out of a booster seat? Doesn't that seem odd to anyone else?
