I live out in the sticks.
I keep a pellet rifle near the door, because the grey squirrel population has gotten ridiculous; and the neighbors are too close to claim dominance with even a .410 shotgun.
She came home today in all her youthful glory, and i told her she had a treat waiting (a Twix bar); but we had to pull watch before she received it. Of course, she wanted to know what was necessary.
I pointed to the air rifle and said, "We have to watch that rifle; because you never know when it will jump up and get a squirrel."
Immediately, my little girl looked at me and said, "this is nuts". I replied, "well, a gun is dangerous isn't it?" She affirmed. I stated, "we should keep an eye on it then."
The look on her face was spectacular. "Dad, it's not alive. Someone has to pick it up to make it dangerous." I could not hide my approval, and she received her Twix bar.
While all of this transpired; my wife was listening and asked, "What do you know about guns sweetheart?", knowing full well where it came from.
"Keep your booger-hook off the bang-switch until your sights are on the target, and ready to fire." she replied.
At that moment, on the TV, the local news station started talking about the "student walkout". It was perfect. She's just a 2nd grader.
I couldn't have been more proud of the look on her face listening to the news. Today was a good day.
“She’s just a seven year old angel. There is hope.”
We have a 6-yo Grandangel who’s being taught critical thinking in much the same way. Kids have wonderful common sense. Leftists get ahold of them and cram down their situational garbage.
I saw PSL and was thinking of the Permanent Seat License that the NFL foisted upon the fans (Thanks Al Davis!), and was wondering WTH?

My God woman, I couldn’t have given that sucker back!
LOL
I didn’t WANT to give it back, I really fell in love with it.
BTW, my sponsor is pointing at MY shooting.
All that other stuff was from other folks.
That was my first time with that rifle!
(I was SO PROUD!)
