children? A two year old is not able to understand that milk goes on cereal instead of soda pop. How can a two year old understand anything about a gun? To promote firing a gun at two is unsafe - this father, Captain Safety, is most likely the same kind of guy who leaves a loaded pistol on the coffee table next to his Budweiser.
I am not anti gun at all. We have them. My kids were not allowed near them when they were that little.
Oh, and .22 riffles can kill someone quite easily.
