General Discussion

... and I'd disarm them if they pointed them at the dog or people.

At that time I had firearms in the house, I hunted in the fall like everyone else in Nebraska did. I also had a CO2 pistol for plinking with the kids and if I caught a dog pooping in the yard, I might clip it in the ass to move him along.

My eldest asked me why I might do that. I said I didn't want them to have to play in dog poop. She was quiet for a while and asked me if I could hold the dog down while she shot it in the butt.

Kids should not be playing with real weapons, disabled or not. They're children with a child's brain, for Pete's sake. They should never get used to or comfortable with putting a weapon on someone.

And I am speaking as a kid from the fifties who had to be one of the most toy gun armed boys in the country, who had all sorts of gun related stuff from a bunch of Korean War and WWII vet dads and uncles. I was a junior member of NRA until the mid sixties, and the Shooters Bible in our house was dog eared.

We do not agree on this and that's as far as this discussion goes, we're only repeating ourselves. The last word is purely yours.
