I hate guns

The boys got toy guns today. uggghh. When I think of guns I think of death. Death of an animal, of a human being. It is a tool that takes life. Target practice is only for getting better at taking life. Sure the good guys protect the innocent from the bad guys, but they draw their guns for one reason. uggghhh.

The boys haven't had any guns. In the absense of guns they make guns of sticks and legos. How does that happen?


We told the boys that bad guys kill people with guns. We let the boys get guns if they would always be the good guy. They promised. See the smiles on their faces. How naive are we?

No joke: put a boy in a room with a loofa and a doilie, and he'll make a gun out of it.
