In my view, as long as there is a program that teaches both civic responsibility and promotes responsible gun ownership through training, safety, and marksmanship, that's the sort of program that I want to get involved in and introduce my son into. There's a lot to be said for appreciating the awesome power and tremendous responsibility inherent in owning and using a weapon, but that requires training, education, and proper orientation to the right way of doing things. And this is deeply entrenched in an American History that just isn't taught anymore, and hasn't since before I was born. _____ -=: Kaelon :=- --- þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net .
