My nephew turned 13 last week, and for a birthday present I bought him a .22 rifle. He visited the farm yesterday and I gave it to him and he had a great time plinking cans and shooting at a target board.
Well--last night I get a call from his mom (my sister in law) and she just went ballistic on me that she didn't want me "introducing him to guns". And she went on about "the violence that guns cause in the world" and so on.
Now let me tell you that I'm not a big "gun guy" (I don't even belong to the NRA) or were any of us in our family. I don't even hunt.

I didn't see anything wrong or dangerous with letting my nephew handle a rifle under adult supervision.
My brother hasn't said anything to me yet, but I am afraid I may have made a real mess of things. I feel so bad about this and don't know what to do. The kid really enjoyed the shooting practice, and it's going to break my heart to tell him the next time he comes out to the farm that he can't do it.
