Is way to young to be shooting guns.

Did they not have an age cutoff?

maybe this one does not or has an exception for this day

at any age.

that you hate immigrants?

Seems that under 18 needs to be accompanied by an adult. They don't have a cutoff age

They also have some targets to download that some people would take issue with

that's quite the bigoted statement there.

If you are saying I am bigoted against most gun cultists - I am guilty.

Didn't the Arizona gun cultists lose one of their "leaders" not long ago - reddy or something like that?

Scientific proof of your assertion? I doubt it.

Heck, you guys are unlikely to ever need a gun, yet you carry them, accumulate them, train for the unlikely event you need them, etc. You don't care about science.

I was a gun nut. You make a lot of assumptions and people who make assumptions tend to become the first part of the word.

just like my father did with us kids, I started taking my kids out shooting when they turned age 7.
Great bonding experience and they had alot of fun shooting the .22 rifle and .410 shotgun.

Of course, I tightly supervised my kids, just as my father tightly supervised us.

If this is how he teaches his daughter to shoot, what business is it of yours or anyone else'?

Someone make the bad man stop!

it's really none of your business how he teaches his daughter to shoot.

it's none of your business.

DAMN, you're good!

Odds are, he's a bigot and fool.

The range allows the shooting of humans?

Yeah, she was shooting at a piece of paper.
Odds are you don't know anything about him.

Here, let me answer my own question, it was a piece of paper.

Didn't see anything in the article stating that. How do you know that it wasn't a target of a deer? Or a turkey? or a zombie?
Fact is that you jumped to an unfounded conclusion without 1 iota of evidence.

Do we always have to draw a map for you guys?

Show me where in those photos where there's a target it the form of a human?
All dad said was that he was proud that she could hit the head, show us where he said it was a human head?

You, on the other hand, very obviously didn't even look at the article or photos and just immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion without any evidence of what you claim.

that's a person, not a target. I even got my magnifying glass out just to be sure, and guess what? It's a live man with a rolled up target in his left hand.

Sheesh Hoyt, time to get your eyes checked.

a human running around, if you are correct that the range operates like an old bowling alley with pin (target) boys.

I've blown both photos up, I've examined them closely with a magnifying glass, there is no human shaped target in either photo.
Just admit that you are mistaken and move on.

on edit: OF COURSE he was shooting at an inanimate target! How fucking dumb do you think DUers are?

They are white

...not making the statement as his own viewpoint.

to be his own spin. I could be wrong but that is the way I read it.

Since we are humans and he is teaching her to shoot us in the head.

I didn't see anything in the article that it was a human shaped target. How do you know it wasn't a deer shaped target? Or maybe a turkey/bear?
You don't know, and even if it were, it's still none of your business.

or watching crime shows and such on TV.

How's that Amish lifestyle working out?

99% of gun owners don't harm people and I am sure a ton of them use human shaped targets for practice (as well as other ones, you can get Zombie Targets at some chain stores).

When I was little we played war, cops and robbers, etc where we pretended to shoot each other. We drew pictures of super heroes fighting evil villains, and had a little tank game where you drew them on paper and pushed the pencil to draw an attack line.

Only person I knew to grow up in the hood and kill someone didn't play with us (was still a friend and neighbor) and he used a car to run over someone (intentionally).

If all you focus on are the few who do terrible things your mind will be conditioned to only see that. 700,000 injured by drunk drivers a year not to mention other people driving cars. And we have a shit ton of laws on the roadways. I could post a hundred stories a day about people killed by cars - and we let 16 yr old's drive em (and some of them probably go and watch crash up derbies - does that mean they want to smash into you while on the road?)

NRA Prez taught his son how to shoot people. Son did just that in a road rage incident.

When you buy a gun, promote guns, oppose sensible restrictions, etc., you do contribute to the craziness.

I am controlling what others do? Wow.

The restrictions we now have in place seem to work fairly well where the majority of gun owners are concerned. And many laws don't have the funding to be enforced. How many more laws do we need?

And let's say OK to universal background checks - and someone gets a gun then later has issues and kills people...what new law then would prevent that from happening?

When you have less than 1% of a group causing the issues maybe it is time to look at other reasons why such things happen and address those instead of the tools they are using. But that takes more work and asking harder questions.

Besides, the odds of your needing a gun are less than 1%,yet you need them close by.

cares what your, or anyone else's opinion of him is.

Probably moreso than 3rd-hand parenting.

Maybe you could expand your one-page insult notebook and be interesting for once eh?

they don't start shooting each other, all will be well.

on the 'Take Your Kid to Work Day' my brother brought his then 12 year old son to work with him. He had the boy load MP-5 and AR-15 magazines. They then went to the police range and shot them. My brother is a cop. The boy is now 23, a college graduate and yes, he did find a job with his business degree.

The instructor filled a gourd with red bug juice. The first kid who hit it, the instructor stopped all firing and made the point that these are deadly weapons, and you did not fuck around with them.

Made his point, and when we were at an impressionable age. Bless him.

Quite a hardass, but good at his job.

Gun culture IS a mental illness.

My youngest would like.

That stuff is crazy, isn't it? Gun culture makes me facepalm...

Cause talking to a gun nut is like talking to the wall.

Walls can be more agreeable than gun nuts...

Because I would never let my young boys near firearms. I just don't get it. I wouldn't let them use fireworks or drive a car either-they're just too young.

My father and grandfather hunted when I was a kid but I don't ever recall even seeing their guns. Of course, my grandfather grew up in the hills of West Virginia where they would hunt for dinner.

We just go to the grocery store.

The boys do have some toy guns but I don't let them play violent video games either.

besides busy-bodies looking for something to be shocked about.

I think it's great that girls are learning to use weapons, and not just boys. Girls need to learn self-defense, protection, CARS, how things are put together, how to mow the lawn, etc. All those things I had to teach myself as an adult or pick up from friends and other family members along the way.

I did learn how to sew when I was a girl, and that came in handy. Boys should learn that, too. And I learned basic cooking skills, but really, learning basic cooking skills is something that hasn't come in that handy. Yeah, I cook some basic things, but it's so easy that learning this as a child is unnecessary, unless you want to be an excellent cook (which I don't care about).

Learning basic plumbing, electrical work, a little about cars, will save girls a bundle of money over the years. Learning to shoot a gun comes in handy, when it comes to self protection (she'll be a target of rapists & other criminals for much of her life). Learning to make soup? Meh...throw some stuff in a pot with chicken stock, turn the heat on, and you have soup. But it's pretty cheap to buy, anyway.

My sister learned to shoot, with supervision, from my father when she was ten.

She's a nurse-practicioner in NC now, with kids of her own.

No reason to exclude the girls
