I'm watching a programme on tv that speaks about how americans use the firearms as something normal in a "fair" where you have to shoot, they say it is very important there but i don't know the name.

What surprised me most is that children use that guns under the sight of their parents and they learn how to use them.

What do you think about this, is it really a normal thing there?

 

 

PS:Sorry for my english.


 Guh?  Some children learn to shoot when they are very young... but it's FAAAAAAAAAR from common place.

It's well less then 50% in any case.  I don't think there is anything wierd about owning a gun, but most people don't own them, and of the majority that do, those guns are hunting guns.

Some people like to take their kids hunting.  I don't see the big deal.  The problem is if you let your kid use a gun unsupervised.

Though even then, back in my day my dad would hunt squirrels and rabbits when he was younger and his mom would cook em up.  Though I wanna say he used a pellet gun or something considering the small size of said animals.
