[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes of course.  I'm super liberal but i also think shooting is a life skill[/quote]

How is it a life skill?  [/quote]

It's a tool for providing safety and food. It can also teach discipline, concentration and focus.  It can encourage safety and ethics and well as participation in environmental and outdoor education programs.[/quote]

Sounds like something you got off of an NRA pamphlet.  The problem is Americans have shown that learning how to shoot and take care of a gun does none of the above.

Southern states have a disproportionate amount of gun owners.  It also has a disproportionate amount of gun violence.

Too many gun owners have shown the exact opposite. They shoot before they think. They are more fearful of life in general and eventually feel the need to carry a gun everywhere.

Children who learn all about guns might end up hate shooting. Or they might buy into the propaganda of guns providing safety and we have another gun enthusiast in America.  [/quote]

Hahaha no. I'm 4H kid though.
Southern states have a disproportionate amount of poverty through entrenched racist systems and generationsl trauma. That is the number one cause of violence[/quote]
