Miss D;

"I know they are good kids, but at that age your mind is very curious. Kids that are learning about guns in this manner are most likely the type to bring a gun to school or worse. I will bet that of all the school shootings that have happened, not one of those kids were brought up around or taught about firearms."
In a very respectfull manner and tone, I would like to disagree with this because children see nothing BUT the use of a gun and killing on television every day. The media glorifies the gun and creates and unnecessary fascination in a childs mind about the gun. When they get to their grandparents house and find a gun in a drawer, they are fascinated by it just because of what they have seen on television. They realize there is POWER in their hands and they can DO THINGS with it. If they have been watching a lot of television or movies then they have been taught by example the possibilities of using a gun. Just what choice is a child going to make? Sometimes it's a bad one......as Columbine, Johnsbourough, West Peduka, etc demonstrate. You see, the media, television, movies are far more damaging and destructive than the gun because they influence the young mind towards evil. The proof is all around you if you will just look!
