Good for Tom for bringing up the notion of being careful banning gun ownership from the “Mentally disabled”
It sounds reasonable but it is a slippery slope.
Who makes the call?
We see people trying to ban guns from any vets diagnosed with PTSD.
PTSD is is a natural reaction to stress.
It can come in many forms and levels of severity.
Losing a loved one can result in depression, that is normal.
Do we strip people of their 2nd amendment rights because they were hurt?
Ideally we could trust a healthcare professional to make a reasonable judgment, but many of them are gun grabbers too.
Again.
Who makes that call?
Perhaps.
All I know is it is one set of rules for them and another for us, and that stinks.
Remember the hysteria over Lanza having Asbergers syndrome?
Asbergers syndrome does not manifest itself in psychosis.
Aight Gang.
Time to sign off.
Thanks to all who stopped by.
Have a great week!
Exactly. My step-dad was givin’ me grief about taking my 11-year-old son to the range. He asked me, “When would an 11-year-old boy ever need to know how to shoot a Glock 19?”
Being the smart @ss I am, I started with the Zombie apocalypse and moved on to alien invaders. How do you answer such an uninformed question?
I teach my kids to respect the weapons in my house. It’s not what they’re prepared for that I worry about - it’s what I can’t foresee.
I taught my boy at about 12.
When I was a kid I was raised to be scared of a piece of metal.
It was illogical.
Then at 21 I was taught that it is just a tool.
You control it, but you must respect it too.
You ever see a kid poke his eye out with a screwdriver?
Kids are pretty smart if we don’t teach them to be stupid. LOL
I wasn’t allowed to ride motorcycles as a kid either LOL
Then you turn 16 and they let you run around in a 5000 lb car. LOL
BTW
God Bless you for allowing your child to grow responsibly rather than trying to keep him a baby into adulthood.
I think a lot of adults in thew world today never got to stretch their wings as kids and were taught to be baby’s.
Many of them are now 60 year old teachers and hand wringing professors that vote D.
A fine example.
A fine example.
“NO! You will not pass!”
Thank God we live in Tx where the father wasn’t prosecuted for leaving the kids home alone LOL
Parents today are all the time doting over their kids into adulthood.
doing the wash and the cooking, no chores, buying then xbox, running them here and there for social events.
Then those parents are stunned that the kid is 35 and doesn’t know how to do his wash or make a grilled cheeses sandwich.
Anyhow, that is my 2 cents.
My Depression-Era grandparents raised me to take care of and depend on myself. It’s one of the most important lessons I will pass on to my kids. They get sick of receiving pop quizes all the time about how to respond in various situations, but one day they’ll thank me.
Egg-zackt-lee.
Also, I think it is insane that our boys are frobidden by liberal asswipes from playing “cowboys and indians”
“it’s violence and we have a zero tolerance policy”
Hey perfesser, It is not “violence” it is a role playing game that helps our children develop concepts of social justice.
‘Well, we caught Black Bart, now how do we mete out justice?’
Dad taught me to shoot as a young boy, and I had a Savage .22/.410 over-and-under and a .30-30 in my closet. I left them alone, precisely because I knew what they could do - I had developed a healthy fear of them.
The mystique was gone, and I was better for it.
You are a good Mom.
Did I say grilled “cheeses” sandwich?
Because that is an advanced course in feeding yourself. LOL
Multiple cheeses?!! OMG how will I ever figure this out? /s
Multiple cheeses is best suited to children 17 and up LOL
