Was expecting Gorillaz. Still pretty cool though.
I have no problems with the Second Amendment (?), but I think there should be an age limit for using guns.
Oh, hey look it's a highly opinionated, agenda filled documentary filmed by a crew that lives in a country where firearms are banned that will only explore one side of the subject and attempt to make it look as bad as humanly possible. Can't wait.
I for one love firearms, and have brought it upon my self to become a member of the arms collector club. I mostly purchase blades and swords and knives primarily at the conventions though.
It isn't really that bad in America, everyone already got guns why not teach them how to respect firearms.. Countries without gun culture, without vast amounts of guns should keep it that way.
It has something to do with the strict gun laws making it sort of rebel to have a gun. OH I HAVE A GUN IM SO COOL! And then later on down the line someone messes with that kid, and he grabs the gun. Sort of like how underage drinking is a big thing partially because it's against the law, so young folk do it. Just my opinion. I try not to think much of it because i've got bigger things to worry about in life.

Oh look more anti gun shit... I'm perfectly okay with kids being near unloaded firearms, just to teach them what the not to do. But allowing anyone under 17 to fire a gun is pretty absurd.

You're okay with children being near unloaded firearms and to be educated on the proper safety, function and care of them but than not allow anyone under 17 to actually fire them? That's a bit of a contradiction.

I've fired a rifle, but that was simply because I was in my school's CCF section, and we do it every year or so.

You need to learn how to assemble it to start it, and you sure don't need power as you're building it.

In the same respect I can learn the process of multiplication but I shouldn't be allowed to actually solve any problems until I'm in High School.
So.. they're teaching them how to handle a gun, thats not bad. It's the parents that don't lock up their guns in a concealed place, with a hidden lock that are bad. Basically, it's the idiotic people screwing up allowing these idiots to make these videos.

People need not fear guns, but rather respect them, and gain an understanding of the power a gun has. Which includes the power to end a life, and the ability to have casual fun shooting it with friends and family. Obviously there is going to be a limit to how young a person can understand these concepts, but if taught correctly, it can be a good thing.
I'm really neutral about this. I feel like its good that kids at young ages are learning proper gun safety but I also feel kind of worried that the kids that live in a house full of guns may get a hold of it and fatally injure or kill themselves.
I'm rather neutral to this as well, but one thing I have to ask; In America, do you need some safe or locker to keep the guns in? Because here in Norway you'll get a fine if the weapons aren't being kept locked up. In our house, my father is the only person with a key. Having them just hang on the wall seems rather dumb (although I guess the ammo might be kept elsewhere).
AMERICA IS SATAN! THEY GUNNA KILL ERRYBODY! Really faggot? I live in North Carolina where the gun laws are really based on common sense; you can shoot on your own property and such but goddamn nowhere public! Ever since my family moved to America and colonized in Oklahoma when it was still a prairie, at the age of 12 every boy would get his first Shotgun. I still have mine, It's a Baretta 20g Shell fed beauty, I shoot it from time-to-time. I've never gone insane, I know plenty of families who shoot guns as a family, hell, I shoot with my family all the time. TL;DR I have loadsaguns and have been shooting since I was 7, this video is biased bullshit.

However other states may not have this legislation. In Ohio, as far as I know, you can keep loaded guns laying around your house wherever. I, however, keep all mine locked up, and unloaded.

HEY AGENDA WIELDING UK! THE REASON YOU GET SO MUCH GUN CRIME AT TEENAGE YEARS IS BECAUSE YOU DIDNT TEACH THEM HOW TO PROPERLY USE ONE! And we're the bad guys here? Methinks some UK citizens needs to re-examine this news company's stance and power on the subject.
American influence causes UK kids to use guns like UK influence cause US kids to drink tea. Why teach our kids about guns so early? Gun usage goes hand in hand with gun safety. And the 2nd amendment wasn't meant for US citizens, it was more aimed towards the militia's, but we liked guns so much we haven't changed it since it was written.
where the rest of video
they're better than women [editline]s[/editline] i read this over and it looks like i'm talking about guns. i meant the kids and their shooting.
Redneck's at their best. I wish I was introduced to guns that early.

So it really depends on state law as stated above
Coming from an IOM location, we have looser gun laws here. However the UK seems to to blame a (up till WW1) farming/hunting Island on importing drugs and firearms. There are a few shotguns of my grandfathers and my Dad's inherited Webley revolver. Get off our god damn back Labour Party.
I had a really old lady who used to live next to me called Mrs Jeppas. When she died, we helped her family clear out all her stuff, and while doing so, Me and one of her grandsons found a grenade under her bed. We gave it to his dad, who freaked and took it to the police, who freaked and got an expert in, who confirmed that it dated back to WW2 and had not been deactivated. In conclusion, fuck kids with guns. It's old ladies with live ordinance you want to watch out for.
