Given strict guidelines and taught respect of firearms is a much better and safer way to shoot any firearm. If you have an 8 year old that shouldn't be trained in firearms, you have already failed your child! Go back to letting your TV raise them in that case!

Not taught safety first? I am talking about airgun, not some airsoft. At least I was tought the gun safety with airgun. And seeing the bullet splintering wood didn't give me any illusions it being a toy.
I can hardly see how not teaching 8 year old kid "gun safety", other than "Don't touch guns." would be failing. They need just to know that they are not toys and are capable of doing significant damage. Gun safety is not just about shooting.
