When you make sure you're son is not afraid of guns.....
http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/11/10/child.charged.arizona.killing.ap/index.html "Romero came from a family of hunters and wanted to make sure the boy wasn't afraid of guns, said the Rev. John Paul Sauter of St. Johns Catholic Church. He said the father taught his son how to use a rifle to kill prairie dogs." Hunting is definitely a positive influence to society. It gives dumbass kids the opportunity to kill people ^^

Odd it happened in AZ, something ring familiar about Arizona...if only I could think of it.

8 is a bit young to use a gun but i have gone hunting since i was 12 with a gun

I think that being educated about how to use guns and be safe around them in incredibly useful. However, I agree that 8 is too young. 12 or 13 is probably the right age to introduce guns to your kids.

In the more rural areas of the country, they offer gun safety classes in school. At about the 3rd grade level.

Rural=inbreeding Urban=mugged and shot for no reason... Jeez read a book sometime GAH.

I have an awesome story. I was at this party this weekend as soon as I arrived I saw a friend of mine across the street and I scream "Yoooooo" and someone screams "Shut the fuck up" I look over and I'm like "What bitch?" and his friend looks at me and he's like don't mind him he's drunk and I was like "Oh alright then" so I continued walkin and the kid shouts at me "357" im like "Bro I don't know what the fuck that means but im about to beat the fuck out of you" mind you I've had a couple of drinks and I get extremely violent and the fact that I box doesn't help either. So i'm walkin up to the kid and I take my jewerly off and my shirt and he's like "2nd Amendment mother fucker" and at the time I didn't know what the fuck the second amendment was and I was like " Bitch I don't know what the fuck you're ramblin about but im going to beat the shit out of you so he's talkin and his friend get's in between us and i'm standin there gettin ready to punch this faggot in his shit and I flip his hat off his head and this mother fuckin pussy faggot cock eating bitch pulls a fuckin gun out and gets all tough for about 30 seconds and is swinging this shit in my face and im like "YOu little pussy drop that fuckin shit and watch me fuck your ass up" and he's pushin me and pushin me and i went to move out the way and he pushed and the gun slid up and cut my face like almost all the way through my cheek and this mother fucker jumps in his car and drives off. Moral of the story is guns are for pussy mother fuckers who have to hide behind that shit when they can't take an ass beating. Now where I live you see everyone when you hit up a club or a party and when I see him I'm most likely going to beat him into acoma. And I'm going to record it and take pictures and i'll post them here when I do.
