I wanted to teach my Goddaughter, who lives in Ireland, about the history of the American Revolution and RKBA in general (she is nine and has dual citizenship but has grown up in Ireland)...any suggestions of appropriate books?
I was also wondering the best way to teach kids, I have one friend who I think goes overboard, when his grandson visits he puts the kids toy guns in the cabinet with the real guns and the kid can't go around pointing his toy guns and saying bang bang , another guy I know ruined his sons interest in firearms by having him shoot a 12 gauge when he was 7 yrs old! now he is 13 and hates guns and the guy can't figure why. I can't figure why he didn't get him a dang BB gun.
I think playing cops and robbers and cowboy/Indians is harmless fun and over regulating play time will take the fun away from interest later on in firearms, you know, tell them not to point a toy gun at a cop but if the kids are playing cops and robbers in the back yard and they're six telling them not to point a gun at the bad guy isn't going to help our side (I don't think, I'm no expert and do not have kids)
