I have said this too many times.

If you cannot stick to the topic at hand and follow the forum posting rules, then you need to stay out of a thread you cannot make a positive contribution to. Responding to someone trolling a thread is just as bad as the troller.

If that is too difficult for you, then PM me so we can work out how long the suspension needs to be in order for you (collectively) to learn that.

Just because you (again, collectively) have an opinion does not mean anyone else really cares.

To be clear, I have no problems with kids and guns, but appropriate weapons for the age group.

How would you divide it up into age groups? At what age can a person shoot what type of weapon?  Or should there be some kind of law that governs this? It should be up to the responsible parent.


I understand your opinion and what you are saying. For example, my daughter has not yet shot any pistols because I don't believe she has any business right now with handguns. However I'd have no problem at all letting her shoot an AR15 style weapon if she wanted.

In my opinion there is no difference in her firing under supervision her new hunting rifle or an AR15. They both do the same basic thing.

One is a single shot with limited range and the other well........

BTW my son is jealous...so jealous of your daughter.

I was referring to my daughter in that part. I don't see a basic difference in her 7mm-08 bolt action loadable with 5 shots versus an AR15 style weapon. However we don't have an assault rifle because we have no use for one....I do know how to use one though

If the zombies come I'm putting her on the roof.

I was just thinking that the only reason you would need a AR-15 is zombies attack or china attacks.

Sorry I took so long to respond. (Note to Skuzzy: I honestly wasn't trolling.) I only have my upbringing to reflect on as far as age group appropriate weapons. As kids we only had single shot guns. I guess the reasoning was how bad could we screw up with 1 shot? Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable with a child (and the keyword here IS child) handling a semi-auto weapon until they were at least in high school. Yeah, it's lame and overly protective. But, it does teach them to make each shot count and, I believe, a better marksman. YMMV.

I see she is wearing  patch.. is that to strengthen her shooting eye?? Other than that I am glad to see she is being taught thte proper way to safely use a gun.. btw I want one like that first pic.
