I think I saw this movie in the 80s. It was in rural US. Seemed to be set in the 50s or 60s maybe. A boy is given a rifle as a present from his dad (I think, or maybe he saved up for it). Straightaway he shoots a lot of rabbits. His dad is disappointed in this but says something like, ‘well, I guess we’ll be eating rabbit for a long time’. Later on the boys father is killed. The killer goes to jail but the boy plans to shoot the killer anyway. I can’t remember anything more but it seemed like a good film and I’d like to see it again.
