The purpose of this thread is not to discuss gun control, infact there are no real guns involved here, instead I want your views on these subjects. Are we wrapping children in cotton and protecting them too much? Children are being punished and having black marks on their permanent records because they are fashioning pretend firearms out of every day plaything, how many people here used to grab a stick and play soldiers with their friends?
Or is it infact better to scare children into being afraid of firearms of all kinds? What are your views on the subject?
