    Take a look at this:Town mayor fires 400-year-old gun firing tradition because it might scare childrenIt makes you wonder how kids from the 17th century handled the firing of muskets when the tradition began...

    You cant scare the children.  It might traumatize them.  This is also why traditional fairy tales have been altered.  Its all about the children, just like Madam Pelosi has said (sarcasm intended)

    Scare them? When I was a kid I would have loved to have heard those guns going off.

    Me too.  I got my first gun (a single-shot Remington .22 bolt-action) when I was 8.  But then again, I grew up on a beef ranch.

    You bet. Really, most of the kids I know would enjoy it too.
