If your child doesn't know how to assemble/disassemble every firearm by feel, the proper way to grill a burger on the grill, how to spell color without a 'u', detect commies from 500 miles away, and drive a car for 100 miles like it's nothing then you've basically failed as a parent.
*Begins to shake nervously*
Ha... ha... yeah. I can do all that. I'm a good American... Woohoo! Guns!
Hehe.
Though to be honest I don't own any guns. Have shot some (Boy Scouts gave an opportunity. Some rifle, shotgun, and blackpowder rifle shooting) though and it's fun. I've got a friend that's looking to be in law enforcement and talks about going to the range.
But I am an enthusiastic griller. It tastes good, leaves less dishes to clean, and is quite versatile. So I'll even fire it up in the middle of winter. And I buy steaks on sale in bulk which helps that to be a near-weekly treat. (At $4.99 per lb it's not too much higher than ground beef for example.)
I’m sorry what
were they actual guns
am I the only one that thinks that could end horribly
Yes. Real guns. On multiple occasions.
Summer camp was where I did the rifle shooting. Got a merit badge for it. (My parents even helped incentivize better grades by saying they'd allow me to go for that one if I did well enough.)
Shotgun was on a couple different camping trips. (At Philmont we even got to load some of the shells ourselves too which was neat.)
Blackpowder was at Philmont. Was interesting learning the process of loading it.
And it doesn't end horribly. There's instructors giving safety instructions and they would 100% intervene if someone was being stupid. (I know the rifle shooting merit badge counselor for example was an older guy with a lot of experience and while I don't remember exactly what he said, he made very clear that violating safety rules was a way to get us kicked out from coming back to the range.) So it is safe.
I am pretty sure I would faint if I was within like 5 feet of a kid with a gun, whether they were like aiming at me or not, I would just be like absolutely terrified
that sounds terrifying
I would not be able to do that
If you get the opportunity, it's not as scary as it sounds. (I know I never felt nervous for a second personally.) Plus you also get the fun of shooting it which is nice. I remember at summer camp there were even shirts you could by that had a target on them. You could place those over the target and have a nice souvenir to take home labelled "Shot at CAMP_NAME." Plus we either knew each other in the troop or the instructor was very watchful to keep things safe.
And as remembered BB guns in cub scouts. (Though I think there was only one time with that.)
Heck, I’m not nocturnal! I just don’t sleep at all.
I’m 15, am I supposed to? No.
I dunno about that. I find plenty of time to sleep in school.
I, unfortunately, do not. Wayyy too many hands-on classes.
Funnily enough I never slept in high school. But come college and it starts to be harder to figure out which classes I never fell asleep in. (I felt bad for my Statistics professor. She was good and friendly, great teacher. But I also sat in the front row which was ~6 feet from her so I know she had have seen me dozing off relatively often.) For whatever reason, despite drinking cafeeine etc, I just wasn't able to stay 100% awake, even when napping beforehand sometimes.

Dang, I’m always up an hour or two before I have to leave. I have to drive from my house, to campus, to another county, to church for school. Explaining is difficult when the police pull me over.
