I Love My Kids

My middle child just won second place in a Target shooting competition at our local gun range. There were 28 kids competing. Kid has always been a dead shot. So proud of him.

Gun control is being able to hit your target!

@JaneDoeEyes It was on a tee shirt I had a long time ago!

I'll have to see if I can find one for West.
@GerOttman No, it simply means controls on who can legally purchase a gun. Do [b]you[/b] think anyone who can afford a gun should own one ? Why ?
GerOttman · 61-69, M
@bijouxbroussard OK, I think any person not otherwise prohibited should be able to purchase a firearm and carry it on their person. Self defense is a natural right all people have.
@GerOttman “Otherwise prohibited”—[b]controls[/b].

Has the world become so sensitive to EVERYTHING that we have to have a warning lable for jokes now? Noone was confused on the definition of gun control.

@bijouxbroussard complex issues do not lend themselves well to one word answers. this is someone else's post, let's not hijack the thread.

@bijouxbroussard Not to mention feeling proud of a child using a gun. ..even as a contest.
@JaneDoeEyes You’re right, shootings [b]are[/b] very funny, after all.
@GerOttman Anything that’s posted is up for discussion, right ? She’s certainly free to block me. I actually accepted her reply to me, because I have family who live in rural areas and [b]hunt[/b]. [b]You[/b] addressed me, however.

[@GarotaDoRi Lord have mercy lol I'm very proud of him. We've done everything the right way. As I've said before he's gone through 2 safety corses and has been shooting at the range for 6 years. We hunt so he needs to know the proper way to handle a wepon. If you don't like it,then don't get your kids into the sport. Simple as that.

@GerOttman I appreciate it, it's a big day for my son.

@bijouxbroussard OK well you go on and pound on your keyboard, I'm very impressed...
@GerOttman Will do.

@JaneDoeEyes It's a pretty cool accomplishment, bet he's proud! Well done.
