Cub Scout kicked out after asking Republican Senator about Gun Control

[Eaglewings]

Eleven-year-old Ames Mayfield posed the questions at an Oct. 9 event in Broomfield, between Denver and Boulder. Cub Scouts had been told to come prepared to talk to Republican state Sen. Vicki Marble about issues important to them.

Ames' mother, Lori Mayfield, said a local scout leader later told her that the topic of gun control was inappropriate because of its political nature and that the boy's questions were disrespectful.

11 year old Ames questioned a Colorado state lawmaker about her position on gun control and previous comments she made about African-Americans' health and eating fried chicken.

He should have also been executed.

Who gave the 11-year-old the questions to ask? They should be executed too.

Shame when we can't ask politicians tough questions.

If you look at the interviews you can see the kid is very knowledgeable and so were most of the children as they came prepared...
