Cub Scout kicked out of group after grilling Colorado Republican on guns

Ames Mayfield, 11, posed questions to Vicki Marble at group meeting
State senator was also asked about comments on African Americans

This young man deserves a merit badge for calling a hypocrite out and asking a simple question(s)

1. Ames is amazing, hes smart, articulate and honest.

The state politician responded erroneously in her answers about gun-free zones and gun violence.
The politician is representing the views of people in the state and making laws based on those views. Good for Ames for daring to question her racist and erroneous views on gun violence, health status, and whatever else. The politician needs to be held accountable, she’s affecting the health and well-being of many people.

2. Outrageous, kicked out for asking about guns. I guess the den leader wants kids

indoctrinated to never ask about guns to a state official. ... seems more appropriate that the den leader should be kicked out of the cub scouts.

3. Right Wingers intimidated by an intelligent 11 year old Cub Scout asking a hard question

Pathetic
