he used pistols,no rifles. Glocks unless I am mistaken.
"THEY' just don't particularly like AR15s so the rifle has become a new boogyman dejure to make you mad.
Apparently it's working.

I started shooting even before boy scouts. My dad and my uncles taught me, my brothers and all of my male cousins how to shoot. Now, aside from active military duty, care to guess how many people I have killed? Get it through your head. Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

What the writer fails to comprehend, is that the NRA isn't ARMING children! And the money that they are putting into education, is going to groups who ALREADY incorporate shooting guns, into everything else that they promote!

If teaching a child about gun safety is bad, then arrest me!!!

My kids started learning about guns and gun safety, the very first day that they asked me about mine!!!!

This article is so slanted it isn't even funny. Not even sure what the point of the article is at all as a matter of fact. From what I gather the author of the article would rather the children of this nation be completely uneducated when it comes to firearms so that when they do come across one instead of treating it with respect and safe handling, they will likely injure either themselves or a family member or friend.

It's ignorance like this that I just don't understand. I completely support programs like the apple seed youth shooting program that teaches children proper handling and safety of firearms while also allowing them to enjoy the pleasures of target shooting and plinking.

The NRA bogeyman is a myth created by the globalist corporate media, often referred to as the "liberal media." The NRA is mostly made up of normal people who pay dues and buy their merchandise. And I certainly appreciate their ability to protect my 2nd amendment rights as a lobby in Congress.
As for teaching children to shoot, that is what responsible societies do. A kid who knows gun safety and how to shoot tends to grow up into a personally responsible adult who understands how to use and respect a firearm.
Perhaps it is just a cultural thing, but down here in the South guns are a natural part of culture.
I tend to think the opposite of the OP is true. They are currently conditioning children into a culture of entitlement and dependence(ie, the government will feed and protect you...until it collapses under its own weight), something a personally responsible and ideally self reliant culture would reject.

Oh no! The secret is out. Now everyone will know that the NRA is really big into gun safety and spends alot of money teaching people how to properly handle guns. If you've ever taken a gun safety course or a hunters ed course, the NRA had somethiing to do with it.

Please understand I did not come here with the intention of starting an argument, and I would ask anyone posting to maintain the same posture.

I have one issue with this in relation to clinical findings and this does not mean it would be a problem to most people. The reality is there for the most part those of us who own guns are responsible people. But among every one of us in consideration to race, creed and culture? There are those of us who are not running on all cylinders, as well as those of us who are but still do really bad things.

The human brain does not actually fully develop until the age of 21. There are parts of the brain related to judgment that are not yet finished. So while teaching a child to use a gun is no problem for say 93% of this countries population there is still a 7% chance that person could become a criminal or be psychotic.

This issue of those that are psychotic could perpetuate into a response with our current technology

It has to do with our technology to apply DNA analysis. You see one way of making sure our
concerns about people who are psychotic killing people is not a problem? Would be to preform
a DNA analysis and perhaps then that child does not get born.

This is not a problem for today but over the next 50 to 100 years it could be very possible.

Any thoughts?

Yep, I'd believe $21 million. My kids had the Eddie Eagle program which is a gun safety program sponsored by the NRA. My son, now 13, can still recite the "what to do if you find a gun" - don't touch, leave the room, get an adult. Well worth the under $2 per child.
