Don't think they possess the true maturity level or understanding just how deadly they are. Desensitized by TV & vid games. Short story ... friend's kid was at the house, maybe 15/16, father no interest in guns, so no exposure to. Think I was shooting eggs in backyard, when he popped over. Saw the gun case, and seemed to have an interest. Ask if ever have, or if he wanted to test one, as he seem curious, without asking. Test fired 38 revolver, and I don't think he'll ever touch or think about having a firearm since. Spooked the hell out of him, and even told him it will be loud, and have a light kick to it. Why I didn't use the 357, plus it was nice & clean. Or the dinky 9mm, as has no real kick to it. Proved just how powerful & deadly something so small is, and spooked him .... forever ???? I've always enjoyed firearms (non hunter). Others don't even think about them, and others despise them, for whatever reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have TV and vids games in all countries, this has little to do with that and all to do with the US and how it treats gun ownership as a sign of masculinity, virility and freedom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with your assessment vdo and tv are to blame, American culture is to blame. You did well with the boy imo, but beyond me why anyone would need several guns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want ... same as anyone else that collects things, whether; cars, books, coins, stamps, toy train, drones, barbie dolls, beanie babies, wives ... etc etc etc Because they want to and can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gun is designed to kill, a car to transport. But enough of this, as I said, glad you got tiboy of guns. So deep down you do care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just letting him experience it, and if enjoyed and was interested, I teach how to own & shoot responsibly. More than a few years from being able to own 1 anyway. Use to be age 21 in PA, USA for handguns, and I doubt if that changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Imo it’s more about exposure to and the easy availability of firearms that’s the crux of the matter imo a 6 year old kid doesn’t truly understand the consequences of shooting someone and just to let everyone know the teachers condition is improving she was gut shot by this little monster ahhh……just beyond belief…….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it does not make any sense to me. What's the difference if you own 1 firearm, or 16, as I did ? As I was replying to someone asking why anyone needs more than 1. None that I can see. I wanted, I had. Should people be banned from collecting knives or swords, as some folks ? That's a better comparison, as weapon. Or archery & crossbow collection ? All the anti gun arguments are silly, especially if you don't live in the USA. As I stated, when people want the laws, Constitution changed, it will be, but they don't. Good Luck with that ever happening. Have a nice day 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
