never too young to impart the Right to Bear Arms and responsible gun wielding
It's a father sharing a hobby that he loves with his son.
Why? You didn't know that? Or are you trying to say that every one that owns a gun intends on using it to kill someone?
But teaching a toddler to use one is not wise. The little boy here was just like "Whoo, loud noises and getting hugged by Dad is fun!" He's too young to understand the possible negative consequences of wielding a weapon. He probably doesn't even understand the concept of death or killing someone. You shouldn't teach your kid how to use things like guns or swords or any other weapon that is used for sport until they are at least old enough to practice some safe judgement and restraint.
You could say that it's okay if he only uses it when his dad is also holding the same gun and aiming it, but what happens if the kid gets a hold of it when the father isn't around, or when he's a few years older learns how to open his dad's locked box where he keeps the gun or something? Guns aren't "evil", but they are dangerous, even to experienced users. If it goes off accidentally and injures/kills the kid or worse, someone else, then that will obviously suck for everyone involved. I know people will probably say, "That's a lot of ifs," and that all that could happen even if he didn't teach the kid how to use the gun, but I think you should hold off on teaching your kid how to use weapons until he/she is a little older, for the same reason you don't put toddlers behind the wheel of a car.
</sarcasm>
I see what you're saying, but obviously this child will be raised by his father being taught more about guns, and at one point he will learn about misuse and such.
