“And then there are the senseless extremes of politically correct, anti-gun hysteria, in which schoolchildren all over the country are being suspended, labeled a “terrorist threat,” and even required to undergo psychiatric evaluation – not for bringing weapons to school, but for even pretending to play with guns or gesturing like a gun with index finger and thumb. One seven-year-old was suspended because he accidentally shaped a breakfast pastry to resemble a gun, according to his teacher, who was literally reduced to tears by the trauma. “
I took one of my grandsons to Lexington,MA a few years ago. We were in the gift shop and a little boy picked up one of the toy muskets that were for sale. The father went NUTS !!!!
My generation were children in WWII-—all we did was “shoot” each other,drop bombs,throw grenades etc. We turned out just fine.

Not according to the liberals. They believe we are a bunch of barbaric warmongers.
Hard to believe isn’t it? We climbed trees and made tree-houses (I still have a scar from falling out of one), stepped on nails and got tetanus shots, got so sunburned we couldn’t stand to put a shirt on for days, swam in all kinds of yukky water, and settled disagreements by slugfests out behind the bike racks ;-) Not to mention our BB guns, chemistry sets, vacuum-tube radios, and soap-box racers!
The irony is, today a kid can be killed lying in bed asleep by a stray bullet - something we never could have imagined was possible.
Yep, I remember playing war games as a boy. We would choose up teams, and somebody would be the “Jerrys” and somebody would be the “Japs”. Completely politically incorrect, but those were words we used when pretending to fight World War II.
Daddy should divorce Mom, let her have the kid, and then she can marry a REAL MAN!
