It should be a crime Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #31

Nope Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #37

I didn't give anyone anything. ileus Jan 2013 #28

Sorry, missed assault rifle Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #32

don't give them one then Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #35

I won't, I only wish the gun nuts would refrain from giving kids guns too Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #36

If the kids are target shooting on a range and are being taught gun and range safety, Jenoch Jan 2013 #58

Actually Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #47

Well that is reassuring to know an adult is even more likely to shoot someone than a kid is Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #48

More likely to shoot themselves Duckhunter935 Jan 2013 #49

Oh, well that makes it all better doesn't it. Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #51

Are you against teaching gun safety to children? Jenoch Jan 2013 #59

More children under 12 die from walking accidents, GreenStormCloud Jan 2013 #43
