  1. When you start talking about single motherhood being dangerous, i'll start listening

  2. One: it doesn’t matter if they are trying to make money. Good for them. Two: of course some kids won’t be able to tell the difference between the hobby these videos are promoting and violent gun use. Hopefully they will have rational, healthy parents in their lives. Kids can’t buy guns.

  3. But legalizing pedophilia is ok

  4. No problem, better they know how to handle them . They exist period . This country is ridiculous we won't let them drink till 21 other countries at 13 lower alcoholic rate . You need stop simping and be MEN .

  5. I would rather teach and educate my child about firearms if there was one in the house. That’s how you prevent accidents. You lock your gun up in a safe properly, but most important, informing an educate in your kids about what a gun does and how to handle one properlythat way if there’s ever a time of need, the child knows how to operate it and help others and the kid would know the important responsibility that comes along with carrying a firearm. I think it’s a win-win situation. Education is the key.😊

  6. My response to a lot of comments here: yes, if you're posting videos of you and your kids shooting guns responsibly as a hobby, that's a good thing.

    But if you're partnering with big gun sellers to make those videos, that's like partnering with McDonalds to make a healthy eating video. These gun companies have an incentive to sell as many guns to as many people as possible, even when those people don't have the responsibility needed to properly use a gun. And we as a society should treat those videos the same as a McDonalds-made healthy eating video.

  7. Child gun! Americans are so indoctrinated it’s insane.

  8. The problem isn't the guns, it's the not educating kids on guns. It's the failure of parents not being there for their kids. How about we stop throwing rocks at things that scare us, we're not cavemen anymore…..we have guns now 😂

  9. What about the children that are forced to use a gun, or given a gun for criminal reasons?
    These children are taught with some responsibility.
    🇺🇸👈

  10. Don't have a problem with it.

  11. Firearms with kids is not a problem it’s the depression and the kids growing up with no fathers it’s the freedom that’s causing it the moms are at work and the kids at home are with their phones what do you expect from em ?

  12. My 13 year old is a good with guns my 21 year old at that age never care for guns but never the less at the time he is looking to become law enforcement and loves guns and obtain all knowledge on the subject

  13. The opposite will happen. Teaching good gun safety and responsible firearm practices work way better than locking them away.

  14. Great job highlighting why these new videos are needed. ULVALDE WAS A COMPLETE AND UTTER DISGRACE! Teaching kids to respect guns in this country is exactly what's needed.

  15. But but but 9yo transgender is ok?

  16. Yeah its practicing gun safety and education. What drives me crazy are the people who never grew up with guns and then letting it go to their head when they finally get one.

  17. It’s not dangerous marketing when they’re teaching them to be safe and responsible gun owners

  18. It's as if some people think kids aren't mature enough to make life altering decisions

  19. NOTHING DANGEROUS About it… teach kids gun SAFETY, and keep your GUN CONTROL away from our rights.
    If you don't want a gun, then don't get a gun, but stay the hell away from mine!!!! NOT A SINGLE ONE of my guns has EVER gotten up and gone off and hurt anyone.
    It's NOT the gun, it's the EVIL person using the gun.

  20. First of all this kid has more safety training than any other kid. If a kid wants a gun cus its "cool" thats wrong. But this kid sees it as a sport and not for just killing ya know ? You can tell he is Def a better influencer than most could say.

  21. Oh my YouTube channel that is actively teaching kids how to use a gun safely

    What about all those dumb videos of teenagers and young adults blasting their guns are in the sky how about we just focus on those and not look good parents teaching their kids how to be responsible gun owners

  22. Where’s the problem with children being taught proper firearms etiquette , technique, and control?

  23. But rappers talking about committing crimes is socially celebrated? THATS what's harming our society

  24. After Uvalde, kids have no reason to believe that armed adults are going to defend them in a gun attack. The United States of Gunmerica might as well have kids form the well regulated militia. It couldn't be any worse than where we are now.

  25. My son is 15 and has been sport shooting for 6 years. He is more knowlegable about firearms and firearm saftey than anyone at USA Today..

  26. It isn't a gun problem it's a people problem. If you teach your children about choices ,consequences, an repercussions it doesn't happen . Stop blaming the tool for the outcome

  27. They’re doing more good than any other worthless influencer. Why not talk about the thousands of “influencers” that were paid to tell their audience to go vote last election?

  28. What happened to the school
