Answer: The UK.
If I can find it again soon, I’ll post the comic that explains why you shouldn’t teach small children to fire hand-held guns: they’re heavy and recoil can be difficult for them to control. Instead, teach them to fire emplaced crew-served weapons, like tripod mounted machine guns or mortars. This has the benefit of also teaching them teamwork.
I’ve got a couple of those.
Give me one good reason why any child should train…
in a foreign language
in gymnastics
in soccer
in piano
in using tools
in doing dishes
in cleaning their room
in caring for animals
in martial arts
I could go on…
On good reason fits them all “to learn skills and life lessons that may be useful and/or enjoyable to them in the future”.
In the specific instance cited, the best reason is “to teach kids to appreciate and safely and effectively exercise their natural and Constitutionally protected rights”.
But with all that said, the correct answer to the question posed is “Don’t need a good reason. Don’t need a bad reason. Don’t need a reason at all because it’s none of your damn business”.
I’m proud to say ‘I’ am responsible for a 13 year old girl getting an AR-15 for Christmas a few years ago. We’d taken her out shooting with us, and she ‘really’ wanted to try a rifle after shooting a Ruger 10/22. With her dad’s permission, I put her down on my M-4gery and she fired over 100 rounds. And LOVED it. She now owns not only that AR, but a Mossy 20ga, and a couple of pistols.
