These people would probably need weeks of therapy had they visited my great uncle’s farmhouse back about 1979, when I used to visit there as a kid and he kept his guns in the living area. I would look at and touch them (under adult supervision, of course) and no eyebrows were raised at all.
I’ve been shooting Guns since I was six years old.
I “owned” a Bolt Action .22 Rifle and a single shot .410 Shotgun when I was eight years old.
I kept them in my closet right next to my older Brother’s collection of Rifles and Pistols, along with the ammunition.
My Parents would have died in Prison for Child Abuse if the Liberals running our Country today were in charge back then.
In the mid 70s I made a gun rack in high school shop class. Liberals’ heads would explode if they made them today.
