Teach your children

 Father arrested after ordering son, 4, to shoot at officers in McDonald's drive-thru, police say. The incident in Midvale, Utah, began after the father received an incorrect order, police said. (NBC News) … Escalating Second Amendment court battles could soon dramatically reorder the nation's relationship with firearms. Gun rights groups are mounting a wave of federal lawsuits that challenge local, state, and federal restrictions on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. And they're winning. (USA Today)

Guns…if a father asks his child to shoot at officers, is the gun the issue, is bad parenting the issue, is the fascination with venting anger via the use of a gun the issue, are all of the preceding issues the ISSUE? Guns…so somehow it seems you still should have the right to bear arms, even when you are unable to bare your own emotions, incapable to bare your responsibility as a parent, are inadequately inept in baring any responsibility except your inability to control your own temper, tantrums, or terrible choices. Guns… so now more than ever, as in seemingly EVER before, the right to murder others, via, owning a gun, but never owning up to the responsibilities of owning that gun seems to become the priority, and the personal death and doom caused by inappropriate laws and regulations matters, not at all…

 

Let your kids hide under a desk as an active shooter roams the hallways of their school. Don’t stop and ask if guns traumatize, don’t hesitate in praising the use of guns insisting that guns are as American as Apple Pie, don’t give a second thought as gun violence dominates the experiences of your children’s elementary, middle school, and high school years on this Earth! Teach your kids that owning a gun is the American way! … Teach your children well. Their father's hell did slowly go by. And feed them on your dreams. The one they pick's the one you'll know by… (Teach Your Children Well/ Graham Nash)
