Good for you! I think it is great to teach kids a good appreciation of gun ownership. I was never given that when I was younger. I personally think the 2nd Amendment is the most important, because all the others (even the 1st!) hinge on it. As long as she has a proper respect, there is nothing wrong with that!

"it is great to teach kids a good appreciation of gun ownership"

The first year she took Gun Safety as a project, it was on one wing of a poster board with her laundry project. The 4-H judge said: guns? laundry? (but laughed)

She is also taking sewing: this year, a chemise and bilaut ala Eleanor of Aquitane. (She also wants to decorate her room in 12th century Gothic.) She also raises rabbits, does tree planting, and well, 4-H season wears me out! But it is all good education.

I agree with your assessment of the 2nd.
