Targeted to teenagers. I don't like that idea.

So, you have a problem with our youth hunting, target shooting, competition shooting, etc?

Nope.

Nope.
Then I'm a bit confused, 75. These are kids interested in shooting and hunting and one would assume their parents are OK with it as this isn't the first year for the giveaway. Why do you have a problem with the gun being given away to a teen?
Could that be because kids don't have programs like this anymore? Kids need to be taught about how to respect guns and not fear them. They need to have a positive image of them instead of a negative one. Programs like this can be very helpful.

 

I think our society is so much more unstable right now. To my knowledge, we have never had programs in my area where churches gave away guns to teenagers.

All the more reason for programs to teach our youth to respect guns as well as other people. These kids are learning some valuable lessons if you ask me. I wish other churches and organizations would take such an initiative.

I'm just not comfortable with it being a prize for teenagers. I would feel the same about a motorcycle. Some things I'm just don't like being offered as prizes targeted to teens. 20 and over I would have less of a problem. I'm a cautious person.

I understand, I may not agree with it, but I can certainly respect your outlook.

Maybe you should rethink your position. Who would you feel more safe with a gun- me or Birdsfan? ;););)

Who do you feel more safe moderating your posts?
