bayouboi Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 But, would you be comfortable raising children in a house with guns? Considering I was raised in a home with guns, I don't see why I'd be uncomfortable raising children in a house with guns. My father had his hunting rifles & shotguns locked in a gun case. His home protection handguns were out of site, but just in case I ever snooped around and found them (which I did) he had already educated me at a very young age how to respect a firearm.
threebyfate Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 IMO, a home that has guns, is the responsibility of the parents to ensure their children don't have unsupervised access to them. Supervised access includes teaching proper handling of them, as well as strong cautionary parenting. Same goes for not allowing your underage children access to your car or other vehicle(s), which can turn into weapons of mass destruction when you consider a ton or two of powerful metal. Of course if you drive a Corolla, no worries...haha...j/k...well...maybe not...yes...just j/k...
Johnny M Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Sigmund Freud once said that fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity. Something to think about
shadowplay Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) This is funny. My boyfriend grew up in a very male-oriented family that loves guns and hunting. His 19 year old brother has several guns in his room, loves to hunt and is a member of a gun club. His dad has a few and also loves to hunt. My boyfriend doesn't own any but he's shot them many times in the woods, and he apparently is a very good shooter. He's thinking about buying a gun. He also wants to teach me how to use one. I wouldn't mind. I do support gun control in that I think there should betighter restrictions on who has access to guns so they're less likely to get into the hands of criminals. I'm not against other people hunting, but it's nothing I would ever do. Edited March 28, 2010 by shadowplay
