I got my first bb gun for Christmas when I was six...and I didn't shoot my eye out! I always could outshoot my boy cousins, and I am still very good with a pistol.
Texas girls and boys still hunt, so this type of story wouldn't even make the news, much less front page. I hope we never have occasion to have to rely on getting our own food in this country, because most of our citizens would starve to death if there wasn't a supermarket available.

Little realism here. 300 million people could not gain a very big percentage of their food from hunting in the US.
