I grew up with just about every type of “cap” pistol ever made or sold, got my first .22 rifle when I was 7 years old, shot everything from squirrels to moose, caribou, elk, deer, bear, you name it and I have to this day (I’m 4 months short of being 80 years old) NEVER shot anyone. How is that even possible some liberal might ask. Well, up front, I was taught from an early age the difference between toys and real “tools” meaning guns. My dad and mother BOTH hunted wild game and they never shot anyone either BECAUSE they too were taught what REAL guns are for. The problem is liberals need educating and I see that as a VERY DAUNTING task for anyone, the dummies will never understand because they refuse to learn. Personally, I think firearm training SHOULD BE taught in ever school.

Same here! My first, at seven, was a single shot 22, would shoot bird shot at bobwhites, long rifle for the squirrels! My Mom taught us how to dress game and skin the rattlers. We were taught respect and careful gun handling, something that stayed with us all of our lives.

You and I believe the same things. We are also very very close to the same age. Remember what it was like to grow up FREE?
