"But at high school and college gun ranges around the country, these teens and young adults gather to practice shooting and talk about the positive influence firearms have had on their lives.

Emily Clegg from Monroe accompanied her 16-year-old daughter, Ashley.... Clegg said that in the two years Ashley has been involved in the JROTC program, she’s seen “tremendous, positive things” happen to her, from motivation and leadership to learning to set goals

There are an estimated 5,000 teams at high schools and universities around the country, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, and their popularity hasn’t waned despite criticism after it emerged that the gunman who killed 14 students and three staff members at a Florida high school had been a member of the JROTC rifle team."

It appears there is some hope for our younger generation after all!

We were the younger generation once and there is another group behind us knocking at the door.

The tree doesn't stand too far from where the apples fall.

What a propaganda piece and using girls no less.

Ah darn you found the hidden secret of the article way to quickly ~ good job CoL!

Someone had their thinking cap developing that article and should be proud of themselves.
