This is something I made some time ago. I was thinking about liberal gun laws in the USA versus the restrictive alcohol law. I found it somewhat strange to trust guns to people as young as 18, when they don’t allow serving you alcohol before you are 21. I guess some people even get to handle a gun at a much younger age than 18, if the parents allow it. I think the world could use a little less of each, but why not start with the guns? They are intended for killing, and most people don’t need to kill other people.

Ummm…. My friend’s live out in the country and they all go out hunting as a family every year; Mother, Father, Son and Daughter. They kill a few dear a year field dress, butcher and then can/freeze the meat. Combined with foraging and their own gardening they produce nearly everything they eat all year round. Their goal is in ten years with a combination of wind/solar and their own well to be completely off the grid. The kids are in their teens and responsible gun users and it would be a travesty to not only deny them the right to go hunting with their parents but to deny them the wisdom and experience of their forbears.

You are describing the gun usage I can say I support. Using guns as tools, where the work of the tools is the goal, not only the use of them. Because if this, I don’t think gun conventions propagate healthy relationships with guns. Who needs automatic rifles and sub machineguns to hunt dear? For the record, I support hunting and killing animals for food.
