Hey I like thes guy, I think he should be classified as an Independant not a liberal though a liberal doesn’t think the way he does. I have a different problem than he does my wife hunts and knows how to shoot rifles and hand guns (she’s pretty damn accurate w/1911a1 style .45, 8 shots at about 50 ft in the 9 and 10 rings) but can’t get the hang of the point and shoot of a shotgun lol. I can’t get my daughter to shoot a gun, my son can take it or leave it but he knows how to shoot, as does my stepson

My wife had started shooting with a .22 caliber childs rifle when she was 10. She soon became a better shot than her father. She is responsible for me buying firearms and going to the range(I have loved guns all my life but my mother was dead set against firearms in the house). Living in NJ it was hard,but having someone close to shoot with made it easier.

I’ve had my own dilemmas about whether raising my children as eagles in a world where the sheep are a majority is a wise idea. If they are going to be confined to a herd, perhaps they will be happier if they’ve never flown. Or do the geese who lay the golden egg get to fly away? Where to?
