I_M4_AU 9,455 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) I think it’s called teaching responsibility. I would much rather see this than a *parent* trying to lead their daughter or son into believing they are of the opposite sex. That seems to be the left’s new *god*. You know, you are your own god and what you believe is true and everyone has to acquiesce to your beliefs.

I can't believe someone seriously just tried to rationalize shotguns and rifles for toddlers. 3 1 2 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186731-when-guns-are-your-god/#findComment-3726355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, the market consisting of 15 year olds and older is getting saturated. BTW, thanks for quoting IM4. It reminded me of why I have him on "ignore": I would much rather see this than a *parent* trying to lead their daughter or son into believing they are of the opposite sex.

Obviously not at two, but as she gets older she will be familiar with the concept of gun ownership and the responsibility that goes along with it. Consider all of the owners that just bought their guns just because they can and take no responsibility.

If the home has guns in it you need to make sure toddlers are aware they should not mess with the guns. I lived on a lake and kept one of our grandsons when he was two for about 6 months while dad was deployed. We went over the house rules and made sure he had an adult with him any time he went outside. He got the concept as when dad came home he made sure dad knew the rules too. I am sure Gov Noem was playing to her audience and rilling up the left at the same time.

If I have guns around the home with small children I will definitely make them aware of how dangerous they can be and the sooner you do it the better they will learn. That ship has sailed with me, but when my grandkids come around, they do like to look at granddad’s guns. Supervised of course. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186731-when-guns-are-your-god/#findComment-3726460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I take logic and safety seriously, and I'm sick of people like you pretending that a kid getting comfortable with a shotgun and assault rifle is necessary to protect themselves in modern society, when your only true purpose is to stick it up the rear of anyone you perceive to be trampling on your "rights." You talk about a culture change being needed, but ignore that this is exactly what needs to happen with idiots that would give their kid a rifle at two years old. You say the culture is different in the south, but apparently don't realize that's the reason much of the other areas of the US sees us (often deservedly) as backwards jackasses. Even if you are as responsible as you say, knowing how people are you KNOW many AREN'T that responsible, which is the whole problem. And I guess your first sentence just shows that you're beyond shame now, which is unfortunate, considering I once thought you had some semblance of fair-mindedness, but not all that surprising. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186731-when-guns-are-your-god/#findComment-3726463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a hard time it seems to even admit that you are a democrat. Seems a little ironic, don’t you think? Both extremes are as nutty as can be, yet it seems that the only ones that get called out are the far right republicans. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186731-when-guns-are-your-god/#findComment-3726533 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought it up because she's a Republican. She's saying something incredibly irresponsible and stupid to score political points with a party base that adores a narcissist detached from reality. That's what has engulfed just about every prominent Republican politician in recent years, which was my point. 4 hours ago, aubaseball said: You have a hard time it seems to even admit that you are a democrat.

I've never considered myself as being a member of either party, but in recent years I've increasingly voted Democrat. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186731-when-guns-are-your-god/#findComment-3726579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I gave up on my ideals I would disappoint myself. Guess which one is going to win out? I don’t know how any *mass shooting* legislation is going to play out, but whatever happens I will comply because I am a law abiding citizen. I may pi$$ and moan, but will comply. I understand we are on opposite sides of most things and would really be disappointed if you gave up on your ideal. 2 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186731-when-guns-are-your-god/#findComment-3726583 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a good point, and of course I would hope that eventually we would agree on the overall gun control debate, but that's not what I'm disappointed about. I spoke out on this because what Noem said was absurd and reinforces the irresponsible side of gun culture, yet you defended it. It's dangerous, and actually runs counter to your position that guns should not be further restricted. 2 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186731-when-guns-are-your-god/#findComment-3726614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
