It's been a couple of months so I just wanted to say hi and check up on stuff. Doubtful I'm staying long.
Ugh, why do people do that? We're supposed to be teaching kids that guns are not toys, so what do these *squee!*s do? Paint them up to look like toys!
When I was a kid I was taught how dangerous guns were so I didn't act stupid and play with them. Wonder what happened to that.
Somebody decided that guns were bad and evil and wrong, and that the best way to keep kids away from them was to make them a taboo topic that nobody could ever talk about. This, of course, has the effect of making kids see guns as some kind of mythical and wonderful object, so of course kids will be curious should they ever come across one.
well that's stupid. teach your *squee!*ing kids about gun safety! they're gonna have to learn it sooner or later
well, I live in america. I've heard that there are more guns than people here, and I can believe that. I'm pretty sure they're going to handle a gun eventually, since even if you don't own guns, you probably know someone who does
I don't know about that. I'm sure there are some people in America with no interest in guns, and that just because they might know someone who owns one, it doesn't mean they're ever going to have anything to do with it. Besides, I'd like to think by the time someone's an adult, they'll have enough common sense to adhere to the rules of gun safety anyway, so children should only really need to be taught about gun safety if they live in a household with guns. Even then though, Guns should be securely locked away where they can't get to them without adult supervision. Why do I keep ending up in serious conversations about guns? x3
