[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 662997, member: 1550"] I am not convinced children should learn about guns at all other than that they are off limits, like alcohol and other dangerous substances. Too much chance of an accident. I can't imagine allowing my own child to even get interested in a gun. I would not want a child to know how to shoot a gun and don't believe a developing child can comprehend the concept of gun safety. We teach kids drug safety and they still use drugs. Their minds are still being formed. I especially feel it is foolish if you child is disturbed. I give you Adam Lanza. I would have preferred Adam done his deed with a knife. It would have cost less lives. Anyway... Yes, we have had toy guns and waterguns. I'm not THAT crazy over the issue, but I don't believe guns and kids mix. In our neck of the woods, during hunting season, both locals and people from other states come here to hunt. Now this is just hunting. I am not against hunting for sport, but I do think alcohol should be banned if you are hunting. It never fails...ever....that some idiot with alcohol and a rifle gots shot or shoots somebody a nd at times it is children or teens hunting with their families and, yes, often they die. I'm glad where I live you really don't see people holding guns. I think if I visited a place where people had guns in holsters, I would not want to stay there... I think it would be safer to kill deer with a knife. If knives kill just as much as guns, why not use knives or, better yet, bow and arrow, to hunt? See my point? They don't kill as well, as accurately or from as far a distance. One last thought. I wonder how many of those gang members of all races and creeds and mentally ill folks who bought a gun "hot" on the street yet may have kids and a bad temper, would go to a gun safety class. That's the problem. Well, one of them. Most people with guns have no idea how to use them and some are just looking for a fight...an excuse to use them. Trayvon Martin. These types of things are just crazy and specific to our country. Nobody wants to copy us. Can't blame them. JMO (shrug) [I]don't hurt me now!!!![/I] [/QUOTE]
