[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wtf does a two year old know about guns. If an adult did that to you, you’d be scared too. It’s effed up. People get arrested for threats on adults’ lives mimicking shooting them. I know of at least one incident where a cyclist was stopped beside a car at a light and the driver looked over and mimicked shooting him. Tell me that’s ok and then tell me you think a toddler should be doing this. A freaking baby. [/quote]

I think the better question is how does OP’s four year old know about guns?  If you aren’t imagining a real gun, that finger gesture is not in any way scary.  So what’s up?  Why is this small child so terrified of guns that a gesture from a baby has him hiding behind his mom? [/quote]
I disagree. When my daughter was about this age, a similar aged child ran up on her and started doing this. She was also a little freaked out and ran away upset. I'm not sure she even knew what a gun was yet. It's the bodily communication whether or not he's aware of the specifics. [/quote]
