Children Shooting

Yes, as you read this, Ogre will be away for the day, out teaching young children how to shoot guns. This time it's 7-9 year olds, and I'll be showing them how to shoot targets with BB guns. I'm sure it will be cold (damn algore's man-made global warming), but I'm even more sure it will be lots of fun. And it does remind me of the joke (I know it's not a true story, but it should be):

This is an extract of an National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Army Lieutenant General Reinwald about sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop on his military installation.

Interviewer: "So, LTG Reinwald, what are you going to do with these young boys on their camping trip?"

LTG Reinwald: "We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting."

Interviewer: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?"

LTG Reinwald: "I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the range."

Interviewer: "Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?"

LTG Reinwald: "I don't see how, we will be teaching them proper range discipline before they even touch a firearm."

Interviewer: "But you're equipping them to become violent killers."

LTG Reinwald: "Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?"

End of the interview

2 don't you think that children have to be tested by a psychologist before teaching them how to shoot?

3 Yeah, shotguns can do that to ya, Angel!

And Sammy, I tested them myself (without any training in psychology at all). If they could recite the safety rules, they were good to go!

I even had a chance during the discussions about firearms to slip in about how government is evil. That was fun!

4 tehe, tehe. I'm anxiously waiting until my grandsons are old enough to learn how to handle real guns... even of the BB kind.

Not sure why anybody needs psychological testing before learning how to properly handle guns... criminals don't. They don't even care about proper handling or even the legalities of gun ownership ... they just shoot to kill with their illegal guns.

5 Guns truly are the great equalizer. Tiny little old ladies can defend themselves against huge men. One person can defend themselves against a group of attackers. And a small, dedicated group can hold off an oppressive government for a long time.

6 There's a town in FL... can't remember the name of it but the citizens there have full rights to bear arms... at all times. The crime rate there is almost zero. I have yet to figure out how taking guns away from law abiding citizens inhibits crime when the criminals don't care whether the guns they use are legal or not.

7 There used to be a place called "America" that allowed that too. But that was when the Constitution was the law of the land.
