Walk onto any college campus in America.

Less than one student in 100 will have any idea of what you mean by 'center-mass'.

How many of our children are still taught to hunt, and basic gun safety as youth? Less than one in 1000, I think.

And yes, Osama understands this.

I hear you about the students, but it also is a regional issue.

Here in Montana 95% of the kids would know what you mean by center mass. 9 out of 10 are handling guns at an early age, learning to shoot, learning gun safety, learning to hunt.

At least there are still 800,000 people somewhere in the US that still takes firearms ownership seriously. I’m pretty sure that with the exception of Washington and Oregon states, that most of the Northwest US is the same.

Think about this as well: All the games that teach children the basics of survival- hide and seek, tag, dodge ball-have been cut from our children’s life experiences. These games may seem useless, but they teach children to hide from or find an enemy, to twist and turn and get away, to recognize an object coming at you and how to avoid it as well as how to suck up pain if you do get hit. These games are as old as humankind, and they are hardwired into our psyches for a reason-SURVIVAL!
