      Honestly that’s not bad if you teach proper safety. I would stick with a Bebe gun and keep it locked up outside of the range.

      Teach them young and they will grow up knowing safety.

        Also the perfect age to make them try meth. Some kids find it too bitter and stay away from it as a consequence.

          Guns are not drugs. Guns are glorified in the media and we need to give youth a basic understanding on what they are and the safety around them. Plus going shooting at the range is a lot of fun.

        I think a lot of that is going to depend on the teacher. Because if that teacher was my grandfather at wholeheartedly agree. I come from a family of hunters so gun safety is top priority. I was using guns as early as kindergarten. But under strict supervision and under very strict settings. But I was also learning how to drive the combine, and what it took to take care of the turkeys.

        But I’ve seen a lot of news and videos of people who frankly should never have been able to touch a gun… Then you see like the two or three-year-old child in the video. That kid’s never going to learn gun safety cuz the parent never learned it.
