This is what happens when you let your kids finger-gun shoot at you when they don't get their way.

Everyone is just going to ignore this? We're all pretending this wasn't said?

HoughMade offered some good advice in that thread. His comment wasn't in purple, but that's how I read it.

It would be foolish to believe that a youth's behavior isn't a refection of their upbringing.

But not absolutely. The bast parents can have one go wrong and the worst parents can have a great one.

Those would be the exceptions to the rule.

And those exceptions are not that rare, but they are still exceptions.

If you let your kids grow up the war they want.

Is the war they'll get.

Meh! We were still doing that when I graduated in '77 and undoubtedly for at least a few more years after that before the aliens crop dusted our atmosphere with their version of agent orange.

'87 we were still doing it
Taking old guns into shop class to refinish stocks, or bringing them in while building a gun rack to make sure they fit.
Everyone carried a pocket knife, most of us chewed tobacco during school also

Yep, one of the early 10/22's rode in the back window gun rack of my F150 to school everyday. Class of '79...

Parents and schools used discipline and corporal punishment effectively back then. Strangely there were no school shootings or even threats of it.
