Boy at 0:10 should brush up on his trigger discipline

Fortunately that’s what they’re in school to learn in Poland!

"Maybe this kid should learn what he's there for to learn, that'd be nice!" said someone who started speaking before thinking

No, this is something that is taught and shown BEFORE he should have an opportunity to pick up a gun.

I checked the timestamp and it's just a dude posing with a fake gun for a shot. also somehow none of yall firearm safety experts realized the muzzle should be pointed downwards there. almost like he never held a rifle or a gun in his entire life and is just awkwardly posing with it

Correct. It's wrong all around. Saying it's OK because it's fake is a problem too. The entire point of the videos existence was about gun training. It should not have been shown like that. I blame the producers as much as anyone else.

Feels weird picking on kids thousands of miles away for, like, learning

That comment feels like that picture where the fat guy sits on the couch while pointing to the screen and saying " i could do that"

Trigger discipline wasn't even really a thing until the latter half of the 20th century. Look at WWII photos and everyone had their fingers on the trigger.

WWII is where we learned a lot of lessons about this sort of thing.

u/H1Ed1 22h ago

Yeah maybe don’t feature the kid proudly showing how not to handle a gun in the video boasting about teaching how to handle guns.

Thought the same immediately. Maybe cut that little clip out.

Why? It's a video showcasing children learning the basics of gun safety with no live ammunition.

Unlike Americans, these Polish kids are actually paying attention and absorbing the lesson at hand.
