[blparent] Guns (was A total stranger crosses the line)

Tue May 14 22:49:49 UTC 2013

Jennifer,
Unfortunately, I understand where you're coming from, however have to respectfully disagree with what you have said below. My son at this time, primarily lives in Alaska where most of the way that they actually get their food is by fishing, and hunting. Especially in the area that he lives, and children begin hunting with rifles at about eight or nine. Therefore, I honestly think that starting a child out at a age where he can begin learning responsibility of guns, at an early age. This is because of the fact that I honestly feel that teaching a child via repetitive methods, for example, if for Saheed does something that you don't like, you simply keep reminding him that it is an inappropriate action, he will learn at a younger age than trying to train or teach him this way at an older age. It is a lot like respective elders, for example my son knows that if you meet someone older, he is to call him or her server or ma'am, respectively. However, most parents say that this is inappropriate, because he is a young child, and should just call them by their name. When children get to school however they are expected to call individuals Mr. so-and-so, or Mrs. so and so, and or serve, or ma'am, therefore, teaching my son at a young age to call individuals order than him sir or ma'am, I think is a smart choice on my part. However, parenting is one of those arts that people do differently, and it may not be appropriate for a three-year-old in your environment or your family to have a gun, in our situation it is a matter of survival, is he going to want to eat when he's older and not have to drive 4 1/2 hours to the nearest store? That's the way that I look at it, but I do respectfully agree with some of the point you presented below. For example, if the parents are unwilling to supervise the child, you should just give a three-year-old a gun and let him go play with it. But, with supervision I think three or four is a good age to start teaching. It's almost like a reading, should they wait until they can actually comprehend what they are reading, before they start to learn to read or should they start to learn to read, and then tackle the comprehension after work? In relation to guns, we teach him to have respect for guns, and that they are tools, not toys to be played with. I would never give him a gun and save go play Nicholas, but I would say lets go with a sighted individual, and practice with your target shooting.
