no, i have a problem with 12 year olds having guns eek:

well then the gun is not his, i bet his father seldomly lets him use the gun which in his mind it is "his" so he posts he owns a gun to instill fear in j00

why would a 12 year old need to use a gun?

learning gun safety at an early age can make you a more mature person when around guns. it works and i have seen it

I was a marksman on the Livonia Rifle team (near Detroit) when I was 12. It is legal to hunt at that age. Hunting is very big around here and it with guns are part of our heritage. It is not the kids that are taught the correct way to handle guns that I worry about, its the ones that never see them and are curious, they are the ones to worry about. I am enroling my 10 yr old daughter in hunters saftey next month. We go turkey hunting every year. I hope that tells you a little about us crazy Americans with our arsenals of guns that the media tells you about. Just remember, if tis in the News it MUST be true!!!!

I learned to shoot way before my 12th birthday and plan on teaching my kids before then too.

If you are going to keep guns in the house, the safest thing to do it to teach everyone in the house how to handle them properly.

And yes, sackboy has a major case of penis envy when it comes to Americans.

Ya know what? Me and my dad would go into our back yard and he would teach me how to shoot a scoped .22 calibre rifle when i was wround 9 or 10, back then that gun was far to heavy for my little arms to hold so he would hold the gun while i sat behind it and scoped and fired it, some of my fondest memories with my father I wouldnt trade them for the world. Yes guns can be used to bad shit but they can also be used to bond father and son or daughter and father in stack ems case. OMG AMERICANS ARE ALOUD TO HAVE GUNS. THAT MUST BE WHY THEY HAVE CRIME. And now my dad teaching me to shoot as a small boy will inturn teach me how to go to school and slaughter 8 people wont it? hake: . Scrotum I like you dude but this was just a thread to bash those americans with their firearms.

I wouldnt trade my spring turkey hunts with my daughter for all the riches in the world!

I completely agree.. My father taught my brother and i how to shoot, the proper respect, care and knowledge of firearms about 9-10 years old.
We have grown up with firearms all our lives.. I remeber the first pistol i shot was a Black powder Cap n Ball Walker .44.. heh.. my dad was holding my arms standing behind me.. i was hooked. biggrin:
Those are the best memories i have with him. Going camping, fishing, shooting, buliding models etc ..

When a parent installs the proper care at a young age.. Kids aren't SOOOO fascinated and amazed by firearms when they are around them..They know what they are, they know what they can do,, and they learn to respect them..

I remember going to my friends house (about 13 years old) who's dad also had firearms.. We were looking at his collection.. and if anything i said "cool.. eh mine and my dads are better".. And went on my merry way..
I wasn't all "OMG DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT THAT LET'S PLAY WITH IT!! Because I was taught early and wasn't a fanatic uneducated freak about it..

Like <Sgt>Stackem said.. Id be more worried about the uneducated kids who don't know how to treat a firearm rather then one who is well informed and knows how to respect one..

Im 27 and i have NEVER had any problems concering any fiream that i own... Simply because i have been educated in them from a very early age.

You drive a car.. You know about what it can do... you know if you hit the gas when ppl are walking in front of you you're going to kill them.. , etc.,. Well, same thing.. its all about education, respect and most of all... the safeties and the LAWS of what you own.. NO difference in the two.

why does everyone scream that its an anti american debate if its about guns?! all i asked was how i should oil it & get the shine back. thats it, i did get bored & sit there typing a post thinking to myself "how can i sucker those damn americans out again!" & about the kids & guns debate who cares? no matter what i say your opinions wont change, no matter what you say my opinion wont change. can we just turn this thread back on course about how to take care of guns?

stfu and go back to your igloo

children shouldn't be allowed to have guns

no wonder there is so much crime in the world.

Hmmm, I don't know which group is acting more stupid, the "patriots" or the cynical teenager.....

Can we knock it off?
