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.

Where did I say "don't touch" as being safety?
How will they know what they do, unless you show them? Having them shoot those guns will show them much better!
I never told my daughter don't touch and walked away. I spent several hours just showing her how it worked and what it did before I handed the firearm to her.
Air soft, air gun, it doesn't make a difference, both work the same way.
I feel sorry for your kids if you rely on just saying don't touch till you think they are old enough to be taught to use them properly. I talked to my daughter about everything, always have, that's why we are such good friends, that's why she has done so well in life so far. If you don't like the way I raised my daughter, then you must think that I did a bad job, well go fuck yourself, she is awesome. I didn't follow any book, I didn't listen to others, I listened to my heart and raised a great kid, that btw is very protective of me and those she loves.
It's apparent to me you know jack shit about raising kids and shooting guns or even worse, how to train others how to shoot!
So thanx for chiming in with conjecture, see I know what I'm talking about!
