Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns?

• Forester@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  A large amount of Americans that grew up with firearms in the home learned to shoot at the ages of 5 to 7. I never wanted to play with guns because I knew what they were and how they worked my entire life. Most of that training will simply be that if you find a firearm unattended, you are supposed to find an adult to attend that firearm. Explaining the dangers of firearms and that anything pointed at by a firearm will be destroyed. The main purpose of all of this is because children educated purely through media have many false ideas about firearms and weapons and damage that they can cause.

    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    First day teaching my little kids I took an empty beer can and holed it with a .22. Tiny hole on one side, tiny hole on the other, no surprise.

    Then I pointed out that humans are mostly bags of water. Filled the same sized can full of water, shot it with the same gun, same round. They shit kittens.
