So first we get some here saying that people have no real right to their own fears and now we have you telling parents what they should teach their kids about guns. Wonderful.
ANy other control you want to have over people and their lives?
You can teach your kids anything you want. You want to do that, you do them a great disservice, even harm. And you can indulge your own unfounded fears all you want....just dont attempt to force them on others.
You ignored most of the actual supporting content in the post, just cherry-picked. :roll:
Lursa said:I guess parents should teach their kids not to be afraid of guns. As should school boards and the media in general. Those kids arent 'naturally' afraid of guns the way some people are afraid of heights. They were TAUGHT to perceive them in a certain way, much the way you seem to.
Again...you blame the wrong people. And no harm was done, be real. Was all society brain damaged back in the days of the frontier when guns were carried openly, on wagons, on belts, on saddles? No....guns are tools and teaching kids otherwise is **doing them harm**. Dangerous tools to be respected? Yes, just like cars. Are kids terrified of cars? No? Why not? Thousands more of them die every year IN them and run over BY them than shot by guns.
