It Is Beyond Ridiculous Kids Cannot Doodle A Gun…

I wonder what happens to the kid that doodles a "girl in a dress" with a dong?

They get the rainbow warrior award and their picture in the trophy case.

But the fact remains: He’s a boy, and boys have been drawing weapons for hundreds of years.


I imagine longer than that.
They'd have been bows & arrows, spears, swords..

What's even worse is when they busted a kid for eating a Poptart in the shape of a gun.

SWMBO was adamant that our firstborn son would not be so enamored of guns when he was little. We never bought him toy guns and didn't watch movies with guns. We played Legos and Duplos a lot. When he was around 3 or 4 she watched him bite his cheese slice in the shape of a gun and shoot around the house. She pretty much gave up after that, but still made sure he didn't have any toy guns.

A few years later he was playing with the neighborhood kids using a sick as a toy gun. Not just any stick - us stick gun aficionados know that only certain sticks will do. The other kids mocked him that "it's just a stick." A half hour later they all had one.

Aren't sticks weapons of war?

Remove the public school system and this issue dissolves.

Nah. Then you have to be 'trained'. You can't look at the OPPOSITE sex like that, only YOUR sex.

When i was in school back in the 80s, guys were either drawing hotrods or women. Don't recall any rifles or anything like that. I didn't draw cause i sucked at it.

The more forbidden you make something, the more young boys will want it.

My parents broke apart my lego guns, then moved on to confiscating my airsoft guns. Look at me now, more guns than brain cells.

Or the girl in iirc kindergarden who was talking with her friend about her hello kitty bubble gun. She was suspended.

I asked a guy my age who already had 5 kids how he handled having guns around them.

“Don’t make it a mystery. If they ever want to look at or handle the guns, they just have to ask. I’ll get them out, let them handle them safely. And take them hunting. Once they see what a bullet will do to a dear, they’ll know they’re not toys.”

That's how I was raised...though it was generally with deer...
