The daughter of Guardian author Jessica Valenti did not know that guns existed "in real life." Valenti laments that she even has to tell her daughter "anything about guns," including confirming their existence.
According to Valenti, her daughter five-years-old daughter Layla looked at a picture of Martin Luther King, Jr that hangs in her room and asked, "How did he die?"
Valenti told her that he was killed by a man with a gun. "And thats when she asked, shocked, if guns existed in real life," and then asked why guns were "allowed."
"The truth is that I resent that I have to tell my daughter anything about guns," Valenti laments. She further asks how she can explain that "we live in a nation where peoples right to own a weapon that kills trumps her right to safety and a life free from fear?"
She continues, "This is not the world I want for her - not the world I want for any child."
In the end, "My husband and I did the best we could that night explaining that guns were, in fact, real, and that despite the fact that they are dangerous some people still own them."
According to Valenti, this all happened the night before the shooting at Umpqua Community College.
This is why leftists should never be in charge of anything.
The Guardian has it’s own authors?
I thought it was a newspaper.
.
How about somebody from Frozen or Dora or Sesame Street?
She continues, “This is not the world I want for her - not the world I want for any child.”
Um, Lady? Socialists like YOU are the reason your dumbed-down daughter and all the other kids HAVE to live in a world like this. YOU helped create it!
Wow.
Personally, I’d call this child abuse. The level ignorance in history and science that has perpetrated on the kid is criminal.
Oh no! we should ban all guns because your child is an idiot!
Have you explained to her where hamburgers come from? (Hint honey: It’s not the hamburger tree)
“According to Valenti, this all happened the night before the shooting at Umpqua Community College.”
Doubtful.
I think this story, Barry’s speech, everything was ‘in the can’. All they were waiting for (hoping for) is a tragedy to use this story on.
So what I’m getting from this is the parents have been trying to suppress the truth from their child and they are angry that the truth got leaked out?
I volunteer for watching a class of 3 year olds at my church and the first thing the boys do when they come in the room for playtime is build guns out of the legos. All they need is two blocks stuck together and they claim its a gun. I quickly gave up that battle because when you stop that game, they resort to punching, pushing, or hitting each other with some form of a stick. With the lego guns, they are running (which is wearing them out) and always staying a few feet away from each other so no punching, pushing, or biting. The girls know full well what guns are, but don’t care much about the game and usually just want me to read them stories during playtime.
Honestly, I’m surprised the kid made it this far without understanding that guns are real.
I’m still shocked this little girl managed to escape the abortionist. Would love to be there when “mommy” explains what that is...
Because certain places are designated a "gun-free zone", and therefore, you are perfectly safe. Come, I will protect you.
Yeah, right. That is reassuring. < /sarcasm >
I just found out that Jessica lives in Jamaica Plain—a section of Boston.
That says all that I need to know about her.
Ultra left wing bastion . They all celebrate diversity but send their kids to expensive private schools.
Hypocrites all !
.
Candles and caves. Yep.
MLK liked to beat prostitutes as part of the sex act.
He especially preferred to beat white prostitutes.
Anyone purporting to a child that MLK should be lauded is guilty of child abuse.
Well, you don't get a choice in "the world" you live in. Nothing's stopping you from checking out of the Earth anytime you want. Good riddance. The fewer liberals in this world, the less whining and bitching there will be.
Simple answer...there are people like us to protect people like this. We stand between them and either anarchy or dictatorship, so that they can continue to live in their liberal utopia. She should be thanking us.
But no doubt she believes Obama rides unicorns and is lowering the oceans.
I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I”ll BLOW YOUR HOUSE IN! Muahahahahahaa!
