Their loving parents, & those their parents entrust their children to for certified firearm instruction & training.

It's nothing new, nor is it illegal as far as I know.

Smart? That's ONLY for the parents, & the training instructors to determine, not an overbearing Nanny Government, but illegal, no search I've done could find teaching young children to shoot any firearm as illegal. Owning if under 18, & carrying one unsupervised maybe, bit firing it supervised, not to my knowledge.


EDIT.......

Can it really be legal for an elementary school kid to shoot an Uzi?

Would I condemn, or make doing so illegal, NO....absolutely not.
 
If I saw the need for that kind of training, as long as the kids agree, I'd encourage it. Failing that, I'd wait till my child could exhibit the knowledge & maturity necessary that I, & only I, can base that decision on for my own children.

From irresponsible parents who believe kids need to learn to fixate on guns from an early age...   

Children die, when firearms aren't secured.  How many kids have died in the USA because they played with grand-dad's/daddy's/mummy's/uncle's/aunt's/someone's gun?

Up to 100 children a year die from accidental shootings, research shows

Children and Guns: The Hidden Toll

More U.S. children killed in accidental shootings than you might think

Epidemic: Guns kill twice as many kids as cancer does

How many Sandy Hooks are needed to water your tree of patriotism Panther?  1, 10, 100, 1000?  How many innocent lives lost?  All so you get to keep and play with your guns!

It’s all in the way you present it:

Hillary, an amateur genealogical researcher, discovered that her great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, a fellow lacking in character, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889.

The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription:

“Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.”

In Hillary’s Family History, her staff of professional image consultants, cropped Remus’s picture, scanned it in as an enlarged image, and edited with image processing software so that all that’s seen is a head shot. The accompanying biographical sketch is as follows:

“Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.”

While this story is clearly fiction it share much in common with some of the stories in your links!

This is my favorite:

Just a few weeks earlier, in Houston, a group of youths found a Glock pistol in an apartment closet while searching for snack money. A 15-year-old boy was handling the gun when it went off. Alex Whitfield, who had just turned 11, was struck. A relative found the bullet in his ashes from the funeral home.
It should say if we are honest that two or more Black thugs broke into an apartment and in the process of stealing everything of value discovered the owners safely stored handgun. Being both clueless and careless one of them was shot by his fellow thief. And no you would not have found the bullet in the ashes, lead melts at very low temperatures compared to other metals and the copper jacket would have been crushed by the grinder.

I understand your side of this HB, I was raised by liberal parents. The end goal is all that matters, lies,half lies or the truth twisted to serve your agenda. "The ends justify the means". Look at it like a team sport with no rules, winning is everything and how you get there is unimportant.
You don't care about the lives lost or saved only stopping the spread of Witch Guns.

And you don't care about how many lives are lost because you don't care to stop the spread of your fetish objects.  Do you sleep with your guns Mort?  Do you gain pleasure from doing so?  'cause that is the level you've elevated them to!

Is is caring for the lives of others, "morally bankrupt"?  You need your moral compass reorientated if you believe that!   I don't want anybody killed or hurt by people with guns.   You just don't care!

You're the one obsessing over access to this object in a sexual manner.  That makes your gun adoration to the level of a religion.

Guns are dangerous weapons Mort.  They are used to threaten, harm or kill people or animals completely unnecessarily.   Next you'll be confessing you hunt and eat your killings!  How Antediluvian of you!   Or do you only hunt and kill black people?  Afterall, that seems to be the national sport at the moment in the USA, where the colour of your skin determines how much respect you get!!!
