  2. …stays together

    My daughter’s going to get a rifle for her 12th birthday, and lessons in safe handling and discharge of the weapon (target practice) all that winter. And from that point on, we’ll be shooting together regularly to keep her skills sharp.

    Is there something the matter that I missed?

    It seems as if you’re implying that those who defend the second amendment by exercising their right to keep and bear arms don’t have very good grammar.

  3. Our motto

    Let’s not forget that this nation was colonized, settled, and revolutionized by stubborn, uppity people with fierce ideals and short tempers. The general credo of our founding fathers was “We’re not going to take @*#$ from anyone. Least of all you.”

    I’m not saying whether this is a good or a bad thing, but genetically it makes sense that today we’re the most gun totin’ of all first world nations.

  4. At Least They Have A Clue

    At least these children will have been taught the proper use of a gun, and to respect the power it has. To see it fell an animal as powerful as a deer teaches you what a gun can do. Stereotyping these people as rednecks makes you an elitist city-slicker. I have relatives who hunt deer, and I’d put them up against anyone on the board in terms of intelligence as well as being just good people.

    Plus, these people are the ones who keep the deer from running through the office in cities downtown. We’ve taken away the habitat for deer’s natural enemies, and left unchecked deer repopulate with a zeal rabbits would envy. And then they get hungry and start going into cities and towns looking for food. To not keep their population in check is to create a situation where they starve. Quick death by bullet or slow death by starvation and disease. Which would you choose?

    Teaching children the proper use of guns, is that wrong? As opposed to movies and TV, which show you that it’s easy for good guys to hit bad guys but not vice versa, and that when your family has been endangered or hurt, you just load up on guns and ammo and take down an entire army single-handedly. Which do you think leads to more idiots choosing guns as a way to go out with a band, pun fully intended?

    There was an article on the web I need to find that stated the homicide rate in America, broken down by race, was something like 3% white, 23% black, and 5% other. Those are recollections, but the significant largeness of the one number was the important detail. And that discrepancy was true for both victim and criminal. If you factor out the African-American contribution, we’re actually safer than most European coutries.

    I’m not trying to race-bash here, but do you think inner-city kids are getting ANY training in gun use? Or do they get it from HBO and the local Loews cinema, as well as the street corner.

    What happens every day is that inner city murders take place, usually criminals killing criminals. There is no shock to that because you really don’t hear about it on TV anymore. Violence in an Amish community is shocking because that just doesn’t happen.

    Keep in mind there’s gun problems in England, where guns are banned. If you ahave a kook who goes off the deep end, they’re going to find a way to hurt other people. They’re going to find a gun. You can’t stop that, and knee-jerking to blame guns is silly.
