GUNS AND STUFF

By Terry Gray

Rhode Island is raising a whole new generation of arms dealers.  Kids are being encouraged to turn in their toy guns for money.  Considering that the group responsible for this is obviously subversive, given their attitude against the 2^nd Amendment, they are not only training future arms dealers, they are training them to deal arms with liberal, subversive attitudes.

If this organization is so intent upon destroying the 2^nd Amendment, perhaps it should look at the ownership and usage of guns by the military and police.  Let’s face it; soldiers and cops are people too.  Should we expect any less danger from firearms when they are in the hands of soldiers and cops?  It seems to me that soldiers carry weapons specifically to kill.  Cops do too, given their training to fire at the biggest target, the chest.  Yes, they carry these weapons to protect the law-abiding citizens of America.  It’s kind of like you and me having weapons to protect our homes and family.

My daughter never owned toy guns.  When she developed an interest in weapons, I took her out to fire the real thing.  I taught her firearms safety, marksmanship, and responsibility.  I believe that toy guns are bad things in that they take away the reality of what a gun can do.  It’s just that liberals will not replace the toys with real guns when a child has the interest.  And kids will be interested in guns.  They wield power and make big noises -- like politicians.  It’s natural for them, but they need to be taught the responsibility of gun ownership, not the fantasy line of “guns are bad”.
