[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just had 13 yo birthday party —Costco Pizza lady.

Why would a parent buy someone else’s child any form of gun? So absolutely thoughtless.  The guns will vanish and you just threw money into the wind.  Do not assume that because you let your kids play with guns that anyone else does.  Rant over. [/quote]

At 13 DS played with nerf guns.  We had many, many gun safety and gun violence related educational conversations in our home.  He was not allowed to play games like Call of Duty where he was pretending to shoot an actual person with a gun (even though what would have been in his hand was a controller that was not shaped like a gun).

Every home is different.  Some are pro-gun of all sort, some are anti-gun of all sort and some are in the middle.

I would not assume it was okay to purchase a gun for another child but I also would not go off on someone who purchased one for mine.  If I felt the need to say anything at all to the parent I would calmly let them know that i realized they meant no harm, we just had different points of view on what was and was not okay as far as guns were concerned.

If you come at someone with anger you are less likely to get anywhere and I've had enough of that in this country.

Can't we all just talk without bashing?  We have a better chance of learning from each other.[/quote]
