Thank you for supporting the next generation of recreational shooters. My 4 1/2 year old daughter thought the "pink one" was far superior to a black synthetic stock,who am i to argue? I never would have thought that a pink rifle would be sitting in the rack in the gun room. I look forward to when my daughter is a bit older and ready to begin her journey in the great sport of shooting.

the next generation of recreational shooters
I'm fine with recreational shooters in general. I do think it is highly presumptuous of them to believe that the Second Amendment was placed into the foundational laws of our nation in order to elevate "recreational shooting" to the level of a sacred right.

A message threatening a shooting at Perry High School was found written in a boys’ restroom Thursday morning.The message stated: “There’s going to bee a shooting”; “Beware this isn’t a joke”; “Friday”; and “Cancell school Friday,” according to a statement from Perry Schools Superintendent Jack Thompson.Students and visitors at the high school are under “stay-put” procedure unless they receive approval from an authorized staff member. Students and staff also will be informed of this decision at an all-school assembly this afternoon, Thompson said.On Friday, police will increase their visible presence on campus, he said.“We appreciate the immediate response and investigative work of our Perry Police Department. Again, the police are confident this is a hoax,” Thompson said. “We will continue cooperating with the police investigation and will keep staff and community informed.”Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the building principal at 440-259-3511 or Perry Village police at 440-259-5292. Information also can be reported anonymously to the Safe Schools Help Hotline at 800-418-6423, extension 359, or by texting 66746 and typing “TIPS”.Thursday’s threat comes just two weeks after shooting threats were found written in the girls’ bathroom on April 9, 10 and 11, and two months after an unfounded rumor alleged two students were planing a shooting at Perry Middle School on March 1.
