FReeped, but a rather silly poll, IMHO. Of course kiddies should learn to shoot under adult supervision. You can’t just give them an AR with armor-piercing ammo and an instruction book and expect them to learn by themselves. Well, before the age of 5, anyway.
How else are kids supposed to learn to shoot? My dad taught us kids how to shoot a 22 rifle about our 10th to 12th birthdays.
I wish the little girls of Rotherham had been packing
True, he coulda kilt it with a david bowie knife......
The school DH works in has a gun range in the basement to this day. Kids used to carry ‘em in on the bus.

“Should children be allowed to learn about Global Warming? “
Absolutely not! It could lead to teen suicide, once they believe that breathing is melting the polar bears!
Good point, Jack!

50/50 now, more or less. 563 yes to 565 no.
I learned to shoot at age 4, with a single-action Army Colt in .45 long. Knocked me on my ass, and taught me respect for the weapon. SAA revolvers cannot run away on you, though. From the video I watched, she looks kinda small for a 9YO. Maybe should have had some help until they knew she knew what to expect, and could handle the weapon properly. NOT her fault, not in any way, and the instructor paid for his mistake. Sorry situation all around.
Been a long time since I read that story, but wasn’t that with a knife?
they wanna outlaw them, too. Stupid bastriches.
Yep, we were within a couple votes.
Now it’s backsliding.

You would rather they learned it on the street rather then in a loving environment where they will learn how to safely indulge?
Or is that only for kinky sex?
Ha ha good point!
