Kids are never too young for gun safety. Gun safety just changes for them as they become older. Education is important in an armed household. If you aren't going to teach your children gun safety, then you probably shouldn't have a gun in the house until they are grown.
I'm finally going to teach my 12 year old how to shoot this weekend. My wife is cool with it, and considering I'm going back up to the woods this weekend with my buddy who is an ex-marine, as well as has his CCW, he is all about safe handling of firearms. He has had his boy shooting since he was 6. Not to mention I grew up with guns in my house, and knew that they weren't a toy, and want my son to understand the aspects of gun safety.
However I have this overwhelming need to go out and buy maxpacks of boner and heart attack prevention pills with a six pack of limerita Bud to wash them down.
Yeah I know interesting combo. Must have been the Boomer Margaritaville generation target audience for that half hour of commercial programming.
It seems like everywhere I look and see, I'm being pressured to buy a gun...not just one gun, multiple ones. Gun shows all over the place, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and non-stop talk about guns on TV and the radio.
It's like American culture expects me to be carrying around a gun 24/7, and that if I don't own multiple firearms, I'm somehow a second class citizen. Anyone else tired of this?
We all have choice in life....
It is called freedom & liberty.
If you don't want one or have the need for one, then don't get one.
But you better not ever tell me I shouldn't have one or 100. You don't make my choices for me.

It seems like everywhere I look and see, I'm being pressured to give up my right to buy/own/carry a gun...not just one gun, multiple ones. Anti 2A demonstrations all over the place, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and non-stop talk about gun control on TV and the radio.
It's like the soft American culture expects me to be unarmed 24/7, and that if I don't surrender my firearms, I'm somehow a second class citizen. Anyone else tired of this?
merica luvs walmart, suvs and violence. What do you expect. not a nation of hi-thinkers
I like firearms, hate Walmart and despise the violence I see on the news. Although, I tend to focus on the people that are committing the violence, not whine about the tools used. The 17 year old kid that shot up the police car in Ferguson didn't to it just because he had a gun (which he broke several laws just having it) he did it because he is a bad person with a hatred for law enforcement.
I like SUV's as well, the larger the better. Sure do miss my Ford Excursion...

Yes. And, this is the actual truth of it, not what the OP is claiming. All this spreading of fear, like manure in a garden, is getting VERY old. I think I'll go shooting today. Haven't been out in a while. Need to dial in the scope on my AR. Whilst I'm out and about, I'll look for all this, "go buy a gun now" advertising , it is said we are being deluged with.
Truthfully, the only gun advertising I see is in gun shops, or at gun events. Maybe I need to look closer?

Statistics show that guns are a terrible form of protection. They also show that 2015 is the worst year for mass shootings (and we are only in august), but why let that spoil the party. Merica.
That is a typically ignorant anti gun statement. The anti-gun zealots have been proven time and again to manipulate facts to suit their whinny philosophy.
If someone is a gun hater and under letal force attack I promise not to use my gun or put my freedom, finances and families future on the line for you. You can just bleed out in the street like happened to the transgender girl stabbed in Fresno - as alluded to earlier in the thread in the reference to the sheriff.
I carry a gun because there are unfortunately a LOT of bad people out there - you can read of hundreds of incidents each day around the country.
I carry a gun because my neighborhood and business location is a war zone of druggies and criminals. Several businesses nearby to mine have been victims of armed robberies.
I carry a gun as a last ditch defense against tyranny in govt.
I carry a gun not out of fear, or for intimidation, but because I can't predict the many dangers we face in society.
I carry a gun because the constitution says I can, and if someone doesn't like that, screw them.

Considering I see about 200 erectile dysfunction medication advertisements for each gun ad I see, I can only assume such pressure has you walking around with an erection 24/7.
