Reading the news it now evident that those games will be a thing of the past. "A 5 year old girl, gets booted out of school for 10 days for telling her friends that she is going to bring her Hello Kitty Bubble gun to school and shoot them with bubbles."
I was lucky growing up, my father was a Marine, and a police officer. He had one heck of a gun collection.
The first time he took my brother and me to shoot a gun, I must have been around 10 yrs old. I was so excited!
He took us out under a bridge of a creek bed. (There were no shooting ranges back then.) He explained the difference of a real gun and my toy guns. Gun safety, which seem to take hours! Then the time came for us to shoot. It was a Smith and Wesson 38. My brother shot first, I don't remember his shooting, I was so excited and nervous about shooting. My father had threw some empty beer cans on the other side of the creek. When my turn came I pointed the gun with one hand, that is till my dad made me use both! Bang! Bang! Bang! There were 6 bangs in all. I did not hit any of the cans, but I did get close enough that a can did move! I don't remember the first girl I kissed, or the first time I had sex, but I will never forget the first time I shot a gun! The one thing that sticks in my mind after all these years is him saying " Never point a gun at a person, unless you are going to shoot them, and shoot to kill them, cause the son of a bitch will kill you if you don't."
Maybe what is wrong with all this gun control talk, is that there are generations of kids who were not taught about those son of bitches!
I think gun safety classes should be taught in schools.
I hope my kids will take some, and teach their kids also.
Read about how New York, made a law that a gun magazine could only have 7 rounds in it, Hell if you can't stop a person with 7 shots, you might what to invest in a shotgun and some "00" shells! It really don't bother me if our government wants to ban Assault rifles I say let them. I really don't see a reason why a person would need one. Assault rifles are a "Class III" weapon. Most gun dealers do not have a license to sell them. It cost hundreds of dollars for transfer fees and the local law enforcement office has to approve a person having one.
These guns that they are calling Assault weapons are really Pimped up hunting rifles. Anyone can buy a hunting rifle and get a pimped up stock and grips and barrels for them. Back when I was a kid, they had assault rifles, they were called "Big Game" guns.
I really don't think it comes down to banning assault weapons. I think what it comes down to is that some people want to see how far they can go in chipping away our Second Amendment Rights. "Lets see how far we can go. If we can do this, we might be able to start working on banning people from owning fire arms, then the Freedom of Speech will be a breeze!" Oh if my Doctor ever asks me if I own a gun, I'll tell him " Try breaking into my house one night and see!"
America is changing. It is changing because we are letting it. When was the last time you wrote your Congressman or Senator? If they start getting hundreds of letters everyday from us telling them how we think, they just might start worrying about their reelection!
I just HOPE that when my grand kids are grown up, they will still be able to own a gun if they choose so.
Just a Texan's Hope
