This toy gun was okey dokey in the 1950's so I have no problem with water cannons
Your thoughts?
Guns are not toys. Water guns are not guns. Water guns are toys
Pinheads gotta be pinheads, I guess.
Is this a joke?
Written like a child like snowflake.
Hard to believe there are really people this stupid.

I am getting soooo old. I remember in elementary school itaking my plastic Winchester 30/30 lever action for recess. I remember having my shotgun in my gun rack in the back window of my truck in high school. Nobody thought a thing about it.
Remember when kids played with toy guns, and when a sweet popular song could have such lyrics?
Oh for gawd’s sake!
Kids won’t be kids forever. If you raise them like they’re helpless sheep, they’ll just be vulnerable wimps as adults, unable to handle the real world.
Lauren, I believe the issue is that your mother realized you were too dense to realize the difference between a water gun and a real gun.
As for my mother, she allowed us to play with water toys because she had faith that we wouldn’t grow up to be clueless idiots. We have all grown up to be non-criminal tax paying responsible citizens. Thanks anyway, Lauren.
So ban
Toy cars
Dolls
Toy trains
Teddy bears
Better idea ban stupid
Her irrational fear of guns, real or harmless toys, will only mystify guns in the eyes of her children. This is a dangerous mindset,because kids will be unable to appreciate the lethal qualities of real gun.
What she should do is train her kids in the safe handling of firearms,and make them practice with them until they’re bored with them. This will remove the mystery of firearms and instill a healthy respect for them in her kids.
Lauren is a WUSS!
Nobody batted an eye in those days if a kid was walking around with one.
I did learn some bad habits at that early age. Such as pointing that gun directly at another person. I think kids should be taught at an early age never to point a real looking gun at another person. Water guns are a different story however as they are obviously just toys and pointing at people is the whole point.
When I got to Marine boot camp, they straightened me out real quick about how to properly handle guns.
Total bullshit.
A complete denial and deflection from other, more serious lapses in parenting.
Denial.
Denial.
We raised three children, currently very independent professional and successful sober adults. Not a snowflake among them. But excellent hand eye coordination and reactions among them all.
That would include the most successful of the bunch, a daughter, who not only owned several water "guns" (that dreaded word again) a Red Ryder bb rifle and pistol, and another pistol which fired plastic "bullets" for indoor use.
And not a single anger-issues loser or mass murderer among them.
Only one son owns a firearm, which he mastered for a few years, in the sport of recreational shooting competition.
Parental, serious introspection is a sorely missed and lost parental skill... eschewed by the clueless ignorant.
Did she let her kids fill small balloons with water and throw them (water grenade, water bomb)?
She’s probably great at summer parties.
We did have a sign outside of our home...
My mother was only raped and murdered one time.
I couldn’t have survived childhood without my trusty six-gun cap pistols and the holsters my Dad handmade for them. Same for water, rubber band, and BB guns. We did so much target practice that I’m convinced it’s why I qualified Expert in pistol and rifle in the service (plus the great training of our instructors).
In HS, the Rifle Team would carry their firearms with them from class to class on practice and competition days. The cases were too big to fit in the lockers, and the range was off campus. Nobody thought a thing about it.
Oh, and every self-respecting male had a pocket knife on his person when he left the house.
It’s the individual, not the inanimate object, that is the problem...but Stalinist knotheads don’t understand that...or maybe they do.
