[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boys, 4 and 6, have never seen toy guns - or real guns - either.  None of their friends play with toy guns.  Which is good because we aren’t going to allow it anymore than we’ll allow play-switch blades or play-nooses.

I don’t care if they like the rule or not.  We’ve talked about guns as a bad thing and stressed how deadly they are.  They know that DH and I both volunteer and contribute to gun control groups.

Lots of things are “forbidden fruit”, OP.  Teaching your child not to run into the street doesn’t make them want to run into the street.  Just say no and explain why.  [/quote].

Thank you!  I’m sick of this question and parents giving lame justification to what is an American courage. No guns.  No play guns.  No TV or video with guns.  My kids don’t play at houses with real or play guns.  We teach about all firearms as deadly instruments.

Or children are dying daily from firearms!  Stop pussy-footing around!  [/quote]

This is just exactly like abstinence only sex education, but for guns.  It just doesn't work and it is counter productive and harmful.[/quote]
