Boy (13) holding toy gun shot dead by police

Was it any good?

 

Thats a part of many Americans' culture, teaching their children how to shoot. I was not taught how to shoot by my family, my family was Irish anyways. But I will certainly teach my children how to shoot. After I teach them firearm safety and basic target practice, if they choose not to go forward with it any more, I will not force them. Thats their personal choice. I was forced with the golf when I was a young one and ended up hating it. I have rediscovered golf as a pleasurable activity as an *, however.

And on the question of foreigners firing guns, we see no problem with this. I regularly invite my friends from the UK and Ireland to go shooting with me. They just would not be able to own a firearm without having been a resident for 90 days, own a hunting license, or have the immigration status of permanent resident.

Regardless, if you were off your rocker, there are plenty of people there in the range who would quickly neutralise you if you were to start any kind of situation. A shooting range is the last place a terrorist or someone like that would go to kill people. They'd be taken out too fast.

 

Now i am going to sound a wee bit hypocritical but it was electrifying to experience it. But i would only advocate something like this under controlled regulation, i.e. 21 and over, along with background checks and a training lesson etc...

Not turn up and fire.

 

What amount counts as bulk buying then ? 200 ? 300 ? Think the Turkey hunting you maybe need to switch to auto might not be much left of the bird right enough but more of it than if you used a 7.62 :smiley-laughing002:

Dear *, hollywood really has a lot to answer for ..

 

I use a 12 gauge for turkey hunting.

I've seen deals where you can get a huge box of federals, 1000 rounds, for about $400. Not bad if you like to shoot a lot or if you are stocking up.

 

It would be a slightly better alternative than multiple police officers shooting him dead. My point is, there were other options on the table.
