In order to believe liberal platitudes, you have to believe in false assumptions about reality.
>>> .... creating a conflict-free Utopia for their kids
I stopped reading right there.
Those parents never argued, or had different opinions about things before? How do you even make yourself ‘conflict-free’? Hypocrites!
My kids were making guns out of Legos 25 years ago. I remember making a rifle out of an odd shaped stick 55 years ago.
Ugh!
Liberals.
Can’t live with ‘em...
Can’t throw LEGO hand grenades at ‘em.
“These guns are related to the impulse to create, not the impulse to kill.”
HIDDEN PREMISE ALERT!!!
Notice that the assumption is that those who like guns have “an impulse to kill”.
Actually, the “impulse” is that of DEFENSE OF SELF AND OTHERS. This could be the two-fold root of the left’s general hatred of firearms.
I’ve come to understand that there are two “levels” of leftism. Those who want to feel good about themselves and those who want to control others. The former group probably have the assumption that “guns kill” instead of “guns defend”.
The latter group would understand the concept of “guns defend”, and don’t want you to have the ability to defend yourself FROM THEM.
But I bet the book doesn’t have the pig gun!!
With the first batch of kids, I was very young and still under the influence of liberal arts college brainwashing, so I refused to buy toy guns for the kids.
So, they made their own. One was made from the Duplo (big legos for little kids) farm set and included the pink pig lego on the end and made piggy snorting noises when fired.
I later admitted the errors of my anti-gun ways and ended up with kids who did well on the high school rifle team, but I did learn that boys will make toy guns out of anything, including the toast they have for breakfast or their lego farm set.
These brain washed idiots are probably also the same kind of idiots that do not want their kids going to church or being exposed to religion.
Aggression is in our genes. Humans are territorial animals and it is in our nature protect our territory with violence.
Some of the earliest writings are accounts of war. Some of the earliest cave paintings depict the use of weapons in hunting.
It is simply foolish to believe that you can remove the potential for a human to act in violence by not exposing a child to tools of violence.
Humans must be taught when violence is appropriate and when it is not and the historically best tool for that instruction is religion (the Bible specifically) the one tool that the Left abhors more than any other (the Koran being a tool to be avoided).
Where do I get one of those books for my 4th grade son? He builds guns out of just about anything, including his brother’s Duplos and his own Legos. One of the highlights of his spring break was going out in the backyard at my parents’ and shooting (real guns) with his dad, grandpa, and big sister.
WOW
those lego guns not only are fully functional but they shoot extremely accurately!
I am stunned!

If a stick is not available to serve as a rifle, a boy will chew his grilled cheese into the shape of a pistol.

I just had to smile right there; brought back sweet memories of my sons when they were little boys.
One of them was suspended in 6th grade for bringing a “gun” to school. It was so obviously a toy — primarily blue, pretty much shaped like a cucumber, cheesy little handle. It resembled the “ray guns” I remember seeing on “Flash Gordon” or “Captain Ovaltine” in the 1950s
