Ehhh, the kid is not shooting people with that gun. If his parents are smart and believe he's responsible enough to handle that thing well (and thats how it seems, judging by the looks of that picture) then I don't have a problem with it.

I have been shooting guns with my father and by myself since I was six. He always instilled good safe shooting practices in me and I was well instilled with gun safety by the time I was eleven, and I'm sure if his father was a big hunter he would have taught his child the same (And like I said, judging by the looks of that picture I wouldn't doubt the kid's ability for a second).

ANd remember, we can't let the few kids who DO shoot people with guns spoil it for the millions that do not.
