Why.............. going by the wrist bands and the enclosed course they fire the guns at, I would say it is some kind of class or training...kinda hard to get hold of some of that stuff they had... Seems to be an instructor(the guy in the majority of the video) and they dont seem to be firing the guns with reckless abandon...Everyone is also wearing ear plugs and saftey eye wear..

maybe not being American makes me think that any weapon in the hands of a child even in a secure situation is a bad idea.

Maybe .. I hope you arent saying America is the only place where kids fire weapons, you do realize in some plaxe in the world youg kids are force to join the military...but back on topic...MrPing1000 said:
This seem like a fire hand saftey training course and they are letting people shot weapons they will never have a chance to fire again these people probably have to take this course in order to get a hunting license, which is manditory in the States......

Smartest thing you said in this whole thread...
- I only missed the minigun in thereejdonk said:
But why not? I would say that learning how to properly fire a gun would also teach kids responsability in using firearms. It's like how in learning martial arts kids learn to control their abilities and to use them only in self defense.
I'd say that this, at worst, is harmless family fun.

You do realize the coutries I was talking about that force kids to join the military are way yonger then the age in that video...I was just pointing out to MrPing that it is not only the United States where kids have guns and it is stupid to think that....xsarien said:

But um, don't we sorta consider the whole forcing kids into the military to be kinda horrible? How is this backing your point up?themadcowtipper said:
Yes, in a society where every hobby Jack Bauer can get a weapon in a supermarket (not in all states), u could maybe consider showing your kids how to handle a weapon a 'have to', but this is a sad thing.
And no way to compare learning to fire a weapon with learning marital arts, dude.
But well you probably dont know it in another way. I sometimes visit my uncle who is living in CA and the weapon laws are quite ok there I think, but despite of this nearly every person I know there has a weapon at home.
It is so weird, you say you have to protect yourself and stuff, but while I'm in the US in a house with a weapon sourrounded by neighbours who also have a weapon etc, I feel quite insecure in contrast with Europe, where hardly anyone has a weapon - and paradoxically I feel much safer here.

My parallel to martial arts is just fine. It's all about learning to control and to properly use something that is dangerous.
And you know, you can FEEL just about any way you want, but know that you're only in danger around the stupid and/or the malicious. If I wanted to harm or even kill you in a place where I didn't have a firearm, I could find about 1000 other lethal things to do to you.
And let's continue to the second amendment. In Europe, what would your people do if your ruling government got so absurdly out of power and a majority of the citizens wanted to do something about it? I doubt pitchforks would have much effect on a loyal army.
I'm all for stricter gun laws, don't get me wrong, but outlawing them and condemning those who use them is just dumb.

Well I live in the outskirts of Belfast. It all depends where u live, there are a lot of people that would be more useful dead in this country. Idiots throwing stones petrol bombs as the police, armed gangs etc. Politicians are a bunch of bastards as well.
Of course if u live in an area like I do it doesn't affect u at all. There are places I wouldn't dare go though, but I guess thats the same for a lot of places.
olimario said:
That may be true, but I think having a weapon lowers the inhibition threshold to harm someone a lot, because you have distance to your victim, you can be quite sure that it is deadly and let's say its relatively 'clean'. Also there hasn't to be a planning phase, fireing a weapon is mostly very spontaneous.
I'm sure that if your government goes crazy, it won't make much of a difference if the people are 'armed' or not. I dont think many people have a bazooka or an anti-aircraft missile at the attic.
