Machine Gun America

The Daily Mail

A new attraction where children as young as 13 fire military-grade weapons in zombie, gangster and cowboy-themed simulators has been slammed by gun control campaigners.

Although management claim their Orlando, Florida, attraction provides a safe place for the use of firearms, critics claim it is unsuitable for an area known for its child-friendly attractions.

The website for the business - named Machine Gun America - states it is Orlando's 'first automatic adrenaline attraction'.

  1. I imagine that's expensive.

    Glad to see, though, that the gun culture in the U.S. seems to be gaining some ground.

  3. "Although management claim their Orlando, Florida, attraction provides a safe place for the use of firearms, critics claim it is unsuitable for an area known for its child-friendly attractions."

    The MOMs seem to be having the vapors because anything involving the responsible use of firearms is automatically bad. There are many adult attractions in Orlando that belie the stereotype that seems to focus solely on Disney.
    There are also many venues that cater to the whole family with activities doable by all ages. Even indoor skydiving.
    If you want to be free from all adult influences, go to the Magic Kingdom. My parents took my family there during my mid tour leave from Iraq. My dad was a bit miffed because he couldn't have a beer with his lunch, because no alcohol is allowed in the Magic Kingdom.
