SHUD CHILDREN HAVE MANDATORY FIREARMS TRAINING ?

What an ass.

We have kids getting kicked out of school for drawing a stick figure with a gun.

All boys do this. If they don't - then there is probably something wrong with them.

Of course, you are entitled to your opinion. However, nutty it may be.

Excellent idea. You should try to create a comprehensive marketing plan and spread it among weapon producers. Heckler & Koch's with tinier grips, for smaller hands. And for the baby bin, instead of a mobile with cute little animals over their heads, a mobile with all sorts of different weapons. I'd also write a proposal for starting early bayonette, sword, axe and for the so inclined, bow and crossbow training.
Of course, since we want to reduce the level of pain they might cause by inadvertently shooting at the wrong places, a detailed biological lessonplan which explains which areas are most vulnerable etc.

For the first years in grade school, I'd further think about a field test twice a year, one where they all have to kill about 50 straw dummies in say 2 hours time with real life ammo, and another where they try and hit each other with paintballs.
Perhaps both can be concluded by having some pitch fights with blunted swords at the end.

And for the honors students in this category, lessons in more advanced weapons such as grenades, mines, and perhaps some WMD's. But those only at the end of grade school, let's stay responsible.

Kids could also learn how to create their very own weaponry in crafts.
And as a graduation gift, lets give each a good working example of the weapon they got the highest grades for.

If it should happen that the lesson plan becomes a bit too hard for some, less useful courses such as reading/writing and mathematics should get less attention.

Sounds like a winner Omsig

Right back at ya, OM.
I suspect you are one of the kids drawing stick people with guns.

I was not much of an artist,
but from the age of 8, I carried a 2 inch .38 revolver everywhere.
I never encountered any trouble; everythng was always pretty quiet.

In later years, I upgraded to a 2 inch stainless steel mirror .44 special.
Everything remained quiet, the exception being one nite on my way home
from my girlfriend 's house, someone in a very old car put a round
into my driver 's side window, while driving abreast of me, on Long Island.
( roadrage or attempted robbery ?? )
I did not vary my speed nor direction, and the mere sight of my s s .44
was enuf to motivate them to speed swiftly away, without further ado.

David - in your world it is normal for 8 year olds to carry .38 revolvers "everywhere"?
Please tell me you have not reproduced.

Until a stray bullet ends it all.

P.S.
Somebody ought to teach that kid to hold a rifle properly.

He was really STRAINING with that remark about a stray bullet.
That was like saying that we shud not go on picnics,
for fear of getting hit by lightning.

Mathews Genisis compound bow as used by the Archery in Schools Program,

that was his first time carrying it in the woods.
He didn't actually get to take a shot at live game for another year - we got skunked that day.

How many rounds in the .22 ?

He has a good school.
I 've been to schools with competitive gunnery teams,
but not archery; I 'd have liked archery.
