My little grand nephew carter is 6 years old. He has loved guns and shooting since he was born. The only toys he ever wants are toy guns, and he carries at least one on his person at all times. He calls me Pappaw and asks me questions about his toy guns all the time. He also always wants to look at my real ones and to shoot them.
I bought him an NRA Life membership and he has started getting his American Rifleman magazine. His Mom says that he gets so excited when the magazine comes in that he can hardly contain his excitement and starts looking through it immediately. I went to see him this morning and he wanted to show me his magazine. Here he is. 
He wanted to show me the guns he wanted, as he had placed a green check next to any that he wanted. 
It turned out that he had checked just about every gun in the magazine. (I know the feeling.  )
He asked me what each one was called and he could identify any AR-15 or 1911 pistol correctly. Here he is. The future of American Riflemen. 
I can't tell you how proud Pappaw is of him. He is such a fine little fellow.

Both that magazine and everything we believe in goes in the trash, if Hillary is elected. Why don't you give your grandson a dose of reality
 My son came home and said nobody in his class (probably his friends) is supporting Bernie or Hillary, they want common core to just go away |
