This is an image pawnshop manager Dan Reese never thought he would see, a two-year-old wearing diapers and holding an AK-47, given to him by his father and all of it caught on tape.
The husband asks to see an AK-47 and as soon as the girl hands it to him, he calls his small child over and tells him, daddy's buying you this AK, this chopper, he called it. Your daddy is going to buy you a chopper so you can become a solider.
Reese's on the right side of the screen assisting another customer, this while the father proceeds to show the child how to hold, load, and operate the weapon.
Well, he is telling him, this is how you hold your chopper, you can hold it like this. And anybody in front of you, you can mow him down. You can kill everybody out in front of you. And you're a solider, you are gonna be a solider, ‘cause dad is gonna buy you this chopper. It's what he keeps repeating over and over.
Now father and son are marching in the store, showcasing the weapon, then the father goes one-step further.
He sets the child down. He unslings the weapon and slings it over the child's back.
With an assault rifle now slung over the infant's shoulder, that's where Dan Reese says, he drew the line.
This is when I become angry and I tell the man, give me the weapon and I take it away from him. I tell the clerk to shut the case that these people can't buy any firearms from us. And this man becomes irate and wants to fight with me.
