You're right, it should be something that actually hurts

2019-02-21 05:53:15 UTC  

Just...I remember being 18 and I think a water gun is demeaning

2019-02-21 05:53:20 UTC  

and USE THE FREAKING SHOOTING GLASSES!!!11

2019-02-21 05:53:27 UTC  

and ear protection

2019-02-21 05:53:31 UTC  

Yeah

2019-02-21 05:53:50 UTC  

A great school fieldtrip to an outdoor range

2019-02-21 05:54:07 UTC  

idk

2019-02-21 05:54:20 UTC  

I think people are actually far more capable of handling a rifle than they think.

2019-02-21 05:54:25 UTC  

They're designed with people in mind

2019-02-21 05:55:12 UTC  

newer ones yes, older ones not soo much

2019-02-21 05:55:19 UTC

Lol. You know those water-gun games at carnivals and amusement parks? 60 years ago they were shooting 10/22s at those things.

2019-02-21 05:55:37 UTC

stamped receivers are pretty standard on AKs

2019-02-21 05:56:02 UTC  

I'm not sure what they'd use as a backstop. But yeah, old High Schools in the north still have shooting ranges in the basements that go unused.

2019-02-21 05:56:08 UTC  

@pratel In Germany when I was younger you can actually shoot Air Pressure BB Guns...

2019-02-21 05:56:17 UTC  

only the more expensive ones have milled receivers and neither is really better

2019-02-21 05:56:29 UTC  

8 year olds shoot pump bb guns in the us still...

2019-02-21 05:56:55 UTC  

It's a cub scout thing. The Boy Scouts move on to 10/22s and 12 gauges.

2019-02-21 05:57:06 UTC  

^ That too

2019-02-21 05:57:29 UTC  

In the US you can just buy air pressure regular guns just fine

2019-02-21 05:57:38 UTC  

Have it mailed straight to your door

2019-02-21 05:58:10 UTC  

I recall the J(something) having access to a airgun range before class.

2019-02-21 05:58:12 UTC  

JTOC?

2019-02-21 05:58:35 UTC  

Point is people used to be trusted with that the same way we trust people with cars

2019-02-21 05:59:03 UTC  

Most people understand the dangers of them. It's too be fair that we trust them as young adults.

2019-02-21 05:59:19 UTC  

Heck I could start talking about how we let people drive at 16

2019-02-21 05:59:42 UTC  

@BACON probably the JROTC if you're in the US (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps)

2019-02-21 06:00:18 UTC  

Yeah, I've had some Europeans come over and complain how easy it is to learn to drive and get a motorcycle. Drove me nuts.

2019-02-21 06:00:32 UTC  

@pratel That's the one!

2019-02-21 06:01:11 UTC  

You'd be surprised what kids are capable of when you give them responsibility

2019-02-21 06:03:53 UTC  

Indeed. Kids are much more responsible than people realize. They're also better at assessing risks than you'd imagine. This goes double if they've been allowed to hurt themselves a bit (non fatally of course) in the past.

2019-02-21 06:04:02 UTC  

Look into Free Range Parenting.
