I was surfing my High Def channels before packing it in tonight and caught a
program called 'Lock & Load'.
It was about a family owned gun shop in Colorado and all the cusomers who
came in to try out & buy shootin' irons.
Couldn't believe it...I bet about 40% of the customers brought their small
children in...mostly toddlers. Some of the older (8-10 ) kids were passed
what looked like auto assault weapons to play with.
Man...talk about a gun culture...a lot of the customers already owned
numerous weapons.
Up here the cops and a local camera store are giving away Sony point & shoot
cameras for each handgun/rifle passed in. After the turned in guns are
examined and checked for any history, they are destroyed.


Your suck buddy Harry LOVES to talk about his guns.

My son and daughter, now 25 and 30 were brought up with guns. Each got to
shoot at age eight. My grandpa gave me a .22 when I was eight. My dad had
to take me to shoot it, which he did until I was a little older, and I snuck
it out. Then, I bought one when I was about 12 and kept it at a friend's
house. My son shot a twelve gauge at eight. My daughter fired pistols and
rifles one time, and after that never had one ounce of interest, AND NO
CURIOSITY TO GO SNOOPING IN THE GUNS. She saw what they were, understood
what they did, and she was a smart kid. My son still likes to shoot, but
just graduated, and is working on masters and doesn't shoot or hunt or fish
much.

Kids raised with guns are different than kids forbidden to touch guns, or
kids who are raised with guns and the wrong attitude.

I forgot about that tactic. I let them fire a handgun, while I kept a
grip on it, with hearing protection of course.
After that they didn't want anything to do with them.

I assume they moved away from bum**** (and your influence) and haven't
felt the need to shoot anything.

If we're lucky, the ignorance in your bloodline will stop at you.
