Saw some neighbours of ours Sunday evening using a pellet rifle, fine I thought although don't see what the pleasure is in it myself, but then I noticed the father was taking it in turns shooting at things in the garden with the 2 kids, they aren't anymore that about 13/14, then the kids mates arrived and they joined in with the shooting as well. And the mother was standing can;s etc back up once they had been shot down.
With all the gun crime you hear about these day's I think encouraging young kids to use a gun is iresponsible even if it is a pellet gun, you never know if the kids enjoy it and find it fun it may encourange them later in life to play with a real gun.

Oh come on, it's not that bad.
At 13 I was using my Dad's 12-bore, it didn't turn me into a gun-toting lunatic (yet).

Fuck me p2p, kids are allowed to have a bit of fun and they where being supervised where they not?
My little girl (4 yrs old) has one of those bow and arrow things that fire those red darts with the sucker on the end. I must be encouraging her to go on a rampage with a crossbow, what a terrible father I am.

My Godsons were shooting some pellets with there grampy a few weeks ago - he was teaching them safe and responsible use so I dont really see a problem with it.
I think stopping kids even having toy guns and that sort of thing may make them seem even more desirable to someone that wanted to do real damage and break rules

surely it's encouraging to see the parents with the kids helping them learn how to use it properly. i mean when they turn 18/19 imagine if the old lady they're trying to mug has a gun pointed at her by these neigbours of yours. one goes to pull the trigger and misses and hits the poor inocent shopper in the back ground?! At least this way their parents are teaching them to aim the gun properly and only hit the intended target. Good parenting i say |

Yeh, hitting the poor innocent shopper is much much worse than hitting the old lady they're mugging... (I do agree with your stance, just a dodgy argument that's all!) |

i think it's anything but irresponsible to be honest. irresponsible would be giving them an airgun and letting them use it unsupervised wherever they felt like...

I suppose I see your points maybe I am being ott but I just don't agree that kids that sort of age should be using guns even if it is only a pellet gun, I'm not one that says kids shouldn't play with toy guns that is just pc gone mad I think, but I also see what the kids are like in this instance and the parents and it just makes me think.
Each to their own though obviously.
