Advice: never father a child with a woman who spells her name Zsofia.
(Z)sofia is proudly ignorant. It is difficult to change the mind of somebody who intentionally avoids learning anything.
Maybe she’s from Eastern Europe. I read on FR that men are supposed to marry women from Eastern Europe.
Again, I would call for universal and compulsory training in the care, feeding, use and responsibility with handling of rifles, shotguns, and pistols, by members of both genders (and there are still only two). This training should be well under way by the time the youths enter middle school.
The respect for and applicable use of side arms is even more important than sex education, and for much the same reason. What you don’t know CAN hurt you, and in ways that go way beyond merely the first effects.
Near-universal familiarity with and availability of the broad range of firearms then in existence was one of the contributing factors in the ability of American youth to go into battle against the Japanese and German war machines in the Second World War, and emerge victorious. Today, we have lost that advantage, with the superstitious attitude that has grown up around personal defense of all kinds. In this fear of making even the least move toward self-defense, the victim provides a most lop-sided advantage to the aggressor.
That kind of timidity never ends well.
She doesn’t know how to parent that? Maybe she should learn to write decent English before taking on something so heavy as motherhood and cap pistols.
Pretty sad that she’s not alone in this irrational fear of guns. The reality is, drowning or a car accident is more likely to kill a child than a gun will.
Typical hoplophobe. She is unable to rationally deal with firearms due to her excessive fear, and yet presumes she should educate her son about them, despite acknowledging that she knows nothing about them.
Eastern European women are supposed to bring their own weapon to the relationship, preferably a Makarov in a thigh holster.
When I was about 5, I told my mother that I never wanted to be in a war. She was folding clothes on the couch. As casual as you can imagine she said, Well, if you do, that’s the price we all have to pay for freedom. That was about 1957. She graduated from high school in 1942.
My sister was like this with her son and my BIL let her get away with it!
Everyone should be made to shoot, just once. We all know that once you shoot a gun, it's so much fun you'll want to do it more.
I mean paintball, laser tag, plinking! it's so much fun! You don't have to shoot breathing things! I was completely astounded to see what my 20 gauge did to a 5 gallon Wesson oil container!
I instantly dislike this person ... yes, I'm prejudiced against people with weirdly spelled names.
I'm rarely wrong about it, either..
Now I'll read the rest of the article ...
I was right.
I married a girl from East Virginia ... not sure if that's the same thing ...
She loves blasting orange clay 'frisbee' things with her 12ga.
No, it read like academic gobbled-gook which I loathe and war against. I didn’t grow up around guns but we all had water pistols, cap guns, plastic machine guns (how else do you imitate Vic Morrow on Combat?), air guns, bats, clubs and all manner of violent toys. And we were girls!
Little boys should be taught that when a woman tells them to stop pretending to play with guns, they should instead sit at a desk and repeatedly press an imaginary button.
“What are you doing now, Johnny?”
“Launching thermonuclear ICBMs.”
Get over it, woman. I had every toy gun you could imagine when I was a kid. I played every game possible with toy guns. I am non-violent and not criminal.
A lot of authors make crap up about their own lives to make a point or come up with an interesting article.
I don't know if Zsofia is literally real, but I have met people who exhibit exactly the mental problems described in this article. Most of them are women.
I've raised two sons, now 12 & 25. Our closets and garage have dozens of toy guns. My 4 YO grandson loves playing with them, as well as playing Angry Birds, watching Paw Patrol ("Chase is on the case!"), and he just finished up his first season of T-ball.
