Thread: Could toting a toy gun be more dangerous than we think?

All of us who use firearms for our chosen sport/hunting, are fully aware of how to use a firearm SAFELY.
If there was an equally vigorous push on background checks for motor vehicle license applications, the road toll might be reduced quite dramatically.
It makes sense IMHO, to teach kinder kids about the basic rules for the safe use of firearms, when their brains are like sponges - absorbing everything they hear/see/feel.
Who cares who is developing the program - it's the first positive step in the safe use of firearms I've seen, since high school Cadets, Air Training Corps and Army service.
We have a high proportion of firearms ownership in NZ and we are DEFINITELY NOT AMERICAN in the free access to specialist/MSSA/handguns, that allow the callous use of these weapons, by unstable people.
My only complaint is that I loved using handguns in the US, some years ago, and unless I jump through some pretty wearisome hoops, that pleasure is denied me.
I think it's a great idea and needs support from the firearms community.
