  • Kids With Guns: I Learned it by Watching You!

    mom with gun stop mom shootAnd we wonder why kids are shooting each other. Besides the obvious fact that there is far too much violence on television you run across crap like this - A woman in Tennessee has been banned from her child's school after she aimed at and pretended to shoot the students with a toy gun. She really did this. A MOM!

    This classy broad pulled this stunt the day after the shootings at Virginia Tech. Did I mention she lived on the Virginia side of Tennessee? She apologized, but she has been banned from the school for a year.

    Dammit people! Guns are not funny. Pretending to shoot people isn't funny. Fine. This picture is funny, but that is where I am drawing the line. Let's try to teach our kids that guns are dangerous and death is permanent. This situation seems to be getting more and more serious. I believe in the right to bear arms, but that doesn't mean you should bear arms. Just like I am pro-choice, but that doesn't mean I feel obligated to have an abortion. Let's be responsible parents and not pretend to shoot kids, can we at least all agree on that?
