and 8 years is still very young for high powered rifles... what's wrong with a friggin BB gun ?
kids do not have the faculties , to cover all the angles of what a gun can do....i know i didn't at that age, if you think about how far a .22 remington long rifle can deliver a bullet... sure , stopping power is low , but it will take an eye out easely if somebody is in the wrong place at the wrong time...

well said, I learned to shoot at a young age as well, but to stare down a bear at 8 with a high powered rifle? seems too much of a risk.
BTW, my cousin lost his eye from a .22 round. He made out very well from the lawsuit
