Plot twist: it’s a small farm town in the 1980s and the waiter brings you a damn beer like you deserve
gives son gun on the 8th birthday
Honestly that’s not bad if you teach proper safety. I would stick with a Bebe gun and keep it locked up outside of the range.
Teach them young and they will grow up knowing safety.
Yeah, how about no?
IDK about where the person you are replying to is from, but I see it as a viable strategy in the US. There are too many stories of children playing with guns and killing someone. Teaching firearm safety and demystifying them is like teaching sex ed.
Not having firearms everywhere is a better answer, but I can only control so much.
Isn’t it mostly kids playing with firearms in their own household?
I can only control so much.
Not from the US, I have plenty of deadly stuff at home: cleaning products, solvents, medicines, sharps, electric stuff. The solution to that is fucking look after your children or don’t have any, not give them a fucking gun when they are eight ffs.

The reality in the US is that guns are everywhere. People should be exposed to them early in a controlled environment. The kids who play with guns they find in a closet are usually the kids for whom guns are more mysterious.
Giving a kid their own gun (obviously they shouldn’t have access to it without their parents) is a great way to demystify them. If they can ask their parents to show them a gun anytime then there’s nothing special about them and the kids don’t go hunting for them when parents aren’t around.
And every adult should know how to safely handle a firearm even if they have no interest in owning one. Guns exist and you may need to secure one some day.
You do what you want with your own kids.
How about no?
You probably shouldn’t be allowed around kids?
Also the perfect age to make them try meth. Some kids find it too bitter and stay away from it as a consequence.
You are if dad says you are. Totally legal if your parents are with in my state.
Just wait bud, one day you’ll grow up to be a raging alcoholic!
