EVERY person is or should be required by law to have gun safety education in order to handle firearms, child or adult. But not EVERY child has access to a gun! But EVERY child has access to sex organs, yet FEW parents teach them how to handle it safely (and "Don't touch that" doesn't count as "education", whether it be guns or sex organs). And I wouldn't object to basic gun safety being taught to EVERY kid, given the idiocy EVERY kid sees on TV about guns.
Not if Carlb. has his way. Leftninnies are never happy to live with their own neurotic fear of firearms; they want to force you to suffer because of their psycho/emotional problems, too!
The only sick thing is the loony left's ignorance and hatred of guns. I'm 48 years old and I've been shooting and hunting all my life. I started my daughter learning how to shoot from the early and impressionable age of 6 years old. She is 17 and can safely and properly shoot all my rifles, all my shotguns and all my handguns. She is a proficient markswoman and hunter. All you loony left ignorant gun grabbing SOBs can go suck it. [video=youtube;Vk4oiUy1LcY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk4oiUy1LcY[/video]
Could you tell me when the law was passed that said only sick liberals could take advantage of impressionable youngsters? Or, are liberals outlawing birthday parties now?
These kids look like they are having fun... [video=youtube;t6yyQ_328mA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6yyQ_328mA[/video]
Wouldn't it be nice if libs learned to mind their own business and stop telling other people how to live?
Are you seriously suggesting that liberals would agree with the public schools going their children gun familiarity training the way they insist on imposing sex education? I think we both know the left would go berserk.
I don't see anything wrong with kids learning about gun safety... I, personally, wouldn't take part in it, but, that doesn't make it wrong... I'd think ignorance about guns would be far more dangerous...
works for me, I was shooting a .22 and a BB gun at the age of six under parental supervision. Our gun club has youth events. Of course parental supervision and self defense and reliance are things that libs don't have no concept of
who cares, its a controlled atmosphere and its not like the kids are shooting wildly in an open field.its a safety class and they have a birthday party inside the facility.
You know, that is exactly how I feel about teachers who try to indoctrinate their pupils into thinking like a liberal. And about folks who want to hand out birth control or abortions to children without their parents knowing. I do know how you feel about this.
I think the OP is exaggerating a bit, but yeah, 8 is a little young to be using a gun. I'd wait until 14 or 15.
