Let’s send her kids some yard darts.

LAWN DARTS!
I forgot about those. Nary a scratch to anyone, and we had them for years.

A revolutionary concept: never allow play by children with potentially harmful toys or recreational activity unsupervised!

What is the potential for a head injury when playing horseshoes? Or Bocce Ball??

The song that Gary covered that I thought took best advantage of his range and phrasing length (he was a swimmer) was Unchained Melody. I actually have a CD with it I bought to hear it like the 60s.

I always had a toy cap gun when I was a kid. We played cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers, etc. And I was a girl (still am).

Same here! My first, at seven, was a single shot 22, would shoot bird shot at bobwhites, long rifle for the squirrels! My Mom taught us how to dress game and skin the rattlers. We were taught respect and careful gun handling, something that stayed with us all of our lives.

No, we don’t want to murder people.

Whether busybody liberal pinheads count as “people”, is an ENTIRELY separate question (evil grin). . .

Shane: "A gun is a tool, Marion. No better and no worse than any other tool - an axe, a shovel, or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that."

Kids need to learn the difference between real and imagined problems.
Liberal parents have serious deficiencies in that area.

Perhaps he meant "gun"

Didn't your DI teach you:

"This is my weapon"

"This is my gun"

"One is for shooting"

"One is for fun"

:-)

We used water pistols for fun, fought with our fists and hunted game with real guns. We walked to our rural school with guns so we could hunt for meat on the way home. Had to leave them in the coat closet though. NEVER EVER cross a Catholic nun.

Even if they’re colorful and super cool, kids shouldn’t be playing with water guns because it normalizes the real thing. “””

Here is the problem with leftists: any crap in their head becomes MORAL AND FACTUAL simply for being in their head. The above assertion is an OPINION and has no basis whatsoever in fact. I loved nothing better than playing “guns” as a kid but I knew down to my marrow that a real gun was no toy. I knew right from wrong and I knew a fecking harmless game from DEADLY SERIOUS BUSINESS. The entire basis for the claims in this article is N O T H I N G.

We also shouldn’t let kids eat Pop Tarts either. The partially eaten Pop Tart might resemble a g-g-g-gun! Oh, I have the vapors just thinking about it!/s

You mean like when they lose an election? Maybe we should’ve given them a participation trophy!
