"I knew there was something special about Mel when I saw that movie and he gave the guns to his two sons to shoot at British soldiers... "

Yes, "too cool" to use the vernacular. (After all, everyone "knows" guns and kids don't mix . . .) He had the courage of his 2nd amendment convictions, which is what I took it to be at the time. (BTW my daughter is going to 4-H shooting sports camp this summer. Filled out the ap. today. Doubt she'll have to fire a shot in anger; but, hey, it's a good, fun sport anyway.)

Good for you! I think it is great to teach kids a good appreciation of gun ownership. I was never given that when I was younger. I personally think the 2nd Amendment is the most important, because all the others (even the 1st!) hinge on it. As long as she has a proper respect, there is nothing wrong with that!
