That doesn't mean that it doesn't strike me as a ridiculous statement.

I was only spoofing the parents freaking about their kids playing guns.  Obviously however my kids are will be how they are.  There is only so much I can do about it.

If I had a son and he did not play guns I would not be okay with it.  That would just be weird.

:rolleyes:

What, afraid he'd grow up to be Garbon?  :D

I am discovering that a lot of parents are not okay with their 3 year old kids playing toy gun type games.

Seems a hopeless thing to control. How do you stop a kid from pointing a finger and going "bang!"?

If I had a son and he did not play guns I would not be okay with it.  That would just be weird.

well. he can play "trucks". that's a more, um, peaceful alternative.

maybe it'll evolve in "hydrogen fuel cell vehicles" at some point.

otherwise, there is always sports.

Fingers don't go bang, toddler pre-mass murderers do.

We are in the middle of a Provincial election.  I regret I have no such foolishness to report.  Although there is still time left.  The polls are close so chances are good that somebody will come out with something equally silly.

Why doesn't Germany just raise the age for illegal gun ownership?

Now, now, you can't have it both ways.  It can't be that Valmy says he knows I played with guns and that he fears his child would be like me if he didn't play with guns...unless the fear is entirely unrelated to arms.

A couple weeks ago I bought Tommy his first toy gun-- a miniaturized MP5K.  THANKS, DOLLAR TREE :D

He's not holding it right just yet, but he'll learn.

What's wrong with toy guns?

I had all kind of toy guns and swords and shit.

And a massive army of toy soldiers. My grandpa's backyard looked like a damn WW1 trench system, with little trenches with green soldiers running in all directions. We also had 2 medieval castles, a apache fort, a burnt out mini-massada fortress, a vietnam style firebase hiden among my grandma's flowers, a farming kibbutz, a beduin camp, and a nuclear silo.

That was so much fun, dude.
