In reply to the discussion: Photos of kids as young as 6 playing with real guns at [View all]Walleye

Theres no doubt that most of these shooters are male, so we need to start teaching boys early not to give into their violent feelings. Now I know girls can be violent too but not nearly to the extent that boys are. I actually think these drag story hours are beneficial to children. I know doctors always worry about people that have suicide ideations, why dont we do the same about people who have homicide ideations. Seems like theres an awful lot of guys in this country he spent a lot of time imagining themselves committing violence.

If I have dog poop anywhere that it threatens my family (the horror!), I would go pick it up.
