Ted, thank you. I appreciate that you have done a news report that takes a calm rational look at how responsible and caring gun owners conduct themselves. These kids have parents that are involved in their lives and that will give them lessons that can't be measured. I too appreciate that you incorporated the element of hunting as conservation. After all, the Pittman-Robertson act, and associated taxes on guns, was established by hunters. Again, thank you.

[@snickerstorino]

[@itsMinuteMaid]

It's a big *empty* state is what it is. There's more than 14 times as many people in New York city than in that entire state. But maybe that's why it's nice. Us humans tend to fuck things up, so any place that doesn't have humans, or has very little humans, usually stays pretty nice.

[@LegoSwordViedos]

I live here. And have never felt unsafe. I can go for a walk or run at 3 am, and don't worry about it. I also don't have to worry about someone breaking into my home because you have to be a special sort of stupid to go and try and rob someone here. Plenty of people leave their cars and doors unlocked even. Sure there can be drug problems but even they mostly know to not go messing with people and most will just mind there own business. If I could just make a wish it would be that everyone in the free world was armed and respected their right to self defense as much as we do out here. And I know if more people exercised their right to be armed and learned how to operate a gun and respect it and teach children how to be safe around guns like out here and not as weapons but as tools, that it's best use is to never need to be used. If all this happened violent crime would become almost a non issue. People don't pick on people there own size nearly as much and guns make everyone the same size. A 90 year old women can be just as deadly as a 200 pound man. The answer to reducing crime is not to make everyone weaker, but rather to make people stronger and more capable of defense.

I like the vid, there are many mysteries hidden in the vast plains of wyoming...

[@XRinger]

It looks really nice in the summer time.. But in the cold season, I prefer South Texas.. :) I was shooting a .22 rifle at the age of five. The most important part of my firearm safety training was seeing the effects of .22 rim fire bullets on small game. You only need go hunting a few times and you realize firearms aren't toys. They give a person the ability to kill. The gun is in same category of tool/weapon as the stone tipped spear. It is just the modern version of the spear. For those who think children of such a young age can't learn to be responsible with weapons, think about how a 5 or 6 year old child knows enough, not to stick a sharp pencil in a baby's eye?

What you think about guns depends on were you live in the u.s ..in Wyoming guns mean history heritage and a way of life. A good life... but in our big and small crime filled urban city's is the u.s east coast.. west coast ... they mean another mother has lost a young child.. to gang violence.... and you don't get that child back. All depends on were you live.

[@nonstop9907]

I believe its Important to recognise the difference between bad people doing bad things with them, and Good people who have them as a means of Self defence, I'm English, Its only the Gangs who have them here, Shootings still happen, and Guns still get found, yet despite my nation Outlawing them, I as an individual view them positively because I know, I would only have one for the right reasons... and I know I can handle them safely as I shot them when I was in the United States, It was a great experience and not something I am able to do once a week here unfortunately, what bad people do is on their back, but those of us who are law abiding should not be left defenceless and at the mercy of evil people, Its a good thing to be able to bare arms.

@@robertpreskop4425 In other words, you can't expect people in Liberal-run cities to behave morally and respect human life. I agree. People who have come to believe that the government owes them a living and that it's okay to take things from others to make their own lives better are _never_ going to act like _actual_ adults (or even like the children in this video).
