Just read on the internet news about a little five year old boy shooting and killing his two year old sister in Kentucky with a childs .22 rifle that his dad had bought for him from Crickett Firearms, didn't know it was loaded. I went to the Crickett web site. Sent a cold chill down my back from looking at all the little children playing with real firearms from that company. I am all for having guns and bullets but you need to be at an age of responsibility before you should be allowed to have them. My dad had loaded guns in a corner pantry closet when I was little. He told me to never get closer than two feet from them or I would be in Serious trouble. I was nine years old before I got a BB gun and he instilled a lot of gun safety in me in the meantime. I feel sorry for the family of the little girl but the dad should never have bought the gun in the first place for his little boy. Thoughts on this subject?
