Is it the ability or the knowledge that scares the crap out of you?

Teaching something that young to kill something is crazy to me. This isn't the stone age. We can go to the market now for groceries.

I think they figure it out on their own.  At least I did.  I mean I was handed a BB gun and some Coke cans and eventually ended up shooting a robin even though I was specifically told not to.  Anyway, I hope you don't think the only reason people hunt is for food.  It certainly isn't for me.

My dad made me do hunter safety so I could hunt with him. Again, I didn't even want to. It was at some old nasty vw/vd (don't know what it's called. Where veterans go to hangout and eat/drink/smoke/etc. OMG, it was so smokie in there. I smelt like an ashtray for weeks. All for some piece of paper that says I can kill a turkey, cause I clipped him on his wing and he drowned in the creek, cause he couldn't fly, and then I retired.

the combination of the two willfully given to an 8 year old isn't a good idea imo. it doesn't "scare the crap" out of me. lol at the knife, car, etc. comparisons people make. none of those things sole purpose is killing something.

No, I get it. It just isn't for me. My family loves to do it.

Well a BB gun's purpose isn't to kill something.  I don't think the GPC OP's idea was to buy a powerful firearm and just turn his young daughter lose with it.  That was never the case with me or with kids I grew up with.  Hunts and shoots were always closely supervised and instructional.  Guns were locked up at home and we never had free access to them whenever wanted.  I bet the GPC OP has the same idea.

What is the purpose of a bb gun?

yeah looking back, there's no way 16 year olds should be able to drive an automobile on the streets

not sure if you're kidding, but I totally agree. I think I've mentioned it here. Kids that age are rough ridin' stupid when it comes to taking risks because their brains aren't fully developed.

If an 8 year old came after me with a butcher knife, I would like my odds of surviving that encounter. An 8 year old with a shotgun is a lot more dangerous.

what in the eff just happened in here

[Emo EMAW]

What is the purpose of a bb gun?

1) Teach kids proper safety and handling techniques
2) Shoot tin cans and paper targets and maybe sometimes small birds and vermin

I also like the odds of an 8 year old surviving its own 8 year old fuckup (8 year olds fuckup constantly fwiw) with a butcher knife v. a gun. though I'm also not a fan of an 8 year old having free access to butcher knives either.
