Ya know, jsut once I would like to see a news story that went someting like this:
Quote:
Kids with guns DON'T shoot each other
At a local shooting competition today 20 youngsters ages 5 to 12 demonstrated safe gun handeling while enjoying an otherwise adult sport.
Using rifles of their own choosing, ranging from .22 cal up to a .308, these kids shot targets at 50, 100 meters and also went through a roving course with pop up targets.
The winner of the competition was 9 year old Johny Muckinfutch. Johny was using a .223 caliber AR-15 that he says he has been shooting since he was 5. When asked about how he leared to shoot he said, "My parents began teaching me about guns when I was about 2. Gun safety is just a way of life for me. When my parents thought I was able to handle unloaded guns safe enough, I started going to the rage with my father. That's when it all started"

The above story is completely false, but the point is, you will never see this story in the news because it doesn't sell. Just like you don't hear about people driving
safely on the roads...no one cares and it doesn't sell.
There are to many good stories of things that never get reported in our society because the don't sell.
I'm getting pretty tired of people not taking responsibility for their actions. It's always someone else's fault. Bull shit. It is not the fault of an inanimate object. It is the fault of people who make bad decisions because they either don't know better or can't comprehend the consequenses of their actions. Otherwise I could say it wasn't my fault I wrecked my truck...it must be Fords fault because they built it.
