    The only child that showed interest was my youngest. He started shooting at 8 and has never stopped, near as I can tell. He is 18 now and sleeps with a rifle in his room. Kinda strange, I admit.

    Gun phobia strikes again. I am afraid of snakes. So should it be illlegal to wear a t-shirt that has a snake image on it? Stupid overreacting schools.
