Not graphic at all, but very disturbing none the less. Did we or anyone we know when we were younger do this type of thing? I'm sure they did, but I can't think of anyone who I knew about or hung out would do this type of crap. However I can't think that it didn't happen and that this is a kids now a days type of thing.

WOW! Not sure what to say. I am not sure if I should be mad at there parents, Mad at them, Or mad at U-tube for allowing something like that to be showen. I personaly never did anything like that at that age (or any). I am not sure if its a one upsmanship type of thing. Shock vidio's Shock Jock's on the airwave's. Etc. Kind of reminds me of the Roman empire at the end.

Sure you did. You may not have known it because they just didn't have a video camera and the internet.... |

Parents are to blame, plain and simple. When I used to help teach hunter's ed here (the shotgun portion) I always wanted to take a watermelon and let it have just one round of #8's from 10 yards and see the kids reaction. I always envisioned them as saying "COOL!!!" with that my reply would be, imagine that was your best friend, sister, brother etc. Give them a visual, shock the hell out of them. Scare them, do something to get it beaten into thier brain that it's not a damn game, not a damn TV show where everyone gets back up and plays another day. My son gets his butt paddled if he even as much points one of his toy guns at us or the dog. Every toy gun gets treated just like a real loaded weapon, no exceptions at all. Hell, I jumped him this weekend for "clearing the living room"  with a toy gun he cobbled togethor with legos.No exceptions when learning to respect it. |
| So in your opinion is it OK for kids to shoot at eachother with dart guns and squirt guns? I'm not trying to stir the pot, just curious. I mean how different is shooting yourself with a toy gun than shooting your buddy with a toy gun? I think it's funny what people choose to get worked up about and what they ignore. not saying that what these kids are doing is OK, it's not, just bringing up some food for thought. |
When I was about 12 or so, my Dad bought a 7mm Rem Mag for a trip to Colorado (we lived in Pennsylvania at the time). After he had it sighted in, he set up a gallon milk jug on a 5-gallon buckat at about 20 paces. He made sure the handle was facing him. He shot it through the handle with a very hot hollow point load. The bucket was dry. The cap went into orbit, I think. At 12, I was awed. He turned to my brother and me and said "the human body is 70% water". Shock & awe, baby. |
No it was not a real revolver. If you listened closely you could hear the kid say that it was only plastic. Plus whatever it shot out was in his hand at the very end and it looked like a rubber bullet or something. The gun was just a toy. Revolvers that big are damn heavy and those little kids were waving it around like it was plastic because it was plastic. That aside their parents still need a kick to the teeth. |
