    I'm pleased you think I'm a young bugger,

    I feel like young bugger now with me new bits plumbed in.

    Although my 6yr old granddaughter recently asked me what it was like in the olden days and was surprised when I told her " Buggered if I know I wasn't there".

    I was a Turd in 1976

    Fuck I got out of the army after five years and got married in seventy six. You are a young buck Pete and don't let your granddaughter tell you any different.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yep, rushys 'storm in a teacup' pic is right on the money. See all the politicians getting the cotton wool out to wrap kids up even more.
    Firearm safety in school is pure commonsense in my view.

    I remember shooting a slug gun at intermediate school camp. A couple of my brothers shot a 7.62 x 39 sks and a 12 gauge shotgun at a Christian camp but I don't even remember seeing firearms at school even when the fuzz brought the common whores and the bite your nuts German Shepherds.

    I would have loved to shoot a 22. I would have definitely gotten my license when I was 16 rather than 20.

    Training in the 7 basic firearms safety rules should be a compulsory subject in high school.

    It would breed better attitudes in our students in general.
    But sadly, very unlikely to happen.

    We had 25m indoor 22 shooting as an elective sport at Wanganui boys when I was there in 85

    In the early 80s 1RR in Bluff, Durban would sometimes entertain a local high school by demonstrating various explosives down on the beach. An envelope containing a sheet of plastic explosive would be used to destroy a desk and a length of Cordtex in the sand would be detonated.

    Sometimes an RPG-7 would be fired out over the sea. If it does not hit a target after ~920m it explodes and one would see a brilliant white flash and then hear the boom from the explosion. Pity that never happened at my high school.

    Sorry I have an issue with this article - FIRED an assault weapon? I highly doubt it.

    Sure, guns are "for killing people". I was in the army and never killed anyone... nor wanted to. I enjoyed my shooting (and was pretty dang good at it!) but my goal was to get to Antartica.

    What a psychopath, hey.
