The idea that just because a kid likes to play with something it becomes an OK today is bullcrap. What about kids who like to play with matches? <br /><br />Anyway, one day I came home and I saw several kids, with one grown man guiding them, shooting at pigeons. And I'm tell you because I saw it with my own two eyes, the pigeons were getting hurt and dying! I'm a fat woman, but when I saw this I RAN out of my car towards those kids and I told them the F off! Then I told them that I was going inside my house to get a phone and I was coming right back out. If I saw one of them when I came out I was calling 911 (I didn't have a cell phone at the time, or a camera or I would have taken photos and then called the cops anyways). First off, I hate people who shoot birds. But can you imagine shooting at the same birds on a regular streets where people are walking down the sidewalks and driving into their driveways? The idea that "boys will be boys" is the crap that some adults use as an excuse for bad, unruly or just plain dangerous behavior. By the way, two minutes later when I walked out again with my house phone there wasn't a single one of them shooting at birds.<br /><br />You gotta stop the boy from using the plastic gun, before they take the real gun and shoot somebodyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295095869228184404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328270100582244263.post-46758876803313915222009-10-18T16:26:58.556-04:002009-10-18T16:26:58.556-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.marfa's cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217579923413681149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328270100582244263.post-32940483557176167402009-10-17T15:11:39.813-04:002009-10-17T15:11:39.813-04:00This post hit way too close to home... last week I...This post hit way too close to home... last week I took my 1 and 3 year olds to the park. There was a mom/caregiver/grandmother (I don't know who she was) supervising five little boys. They were playing with plastic guns, jumping on the equipment, and pretending to shoot one another. My kids were climbing the ladder when one of the boys pointed his little plastic gun in my one-year-old's face. I freaked. I didn't yell, but I quickly told him that he needed to point the gun elsewhere and not do that ever again. The caregiver came over and grabbed the kids and told them to stay away from me. Was she serious? I was the threat. You know what, I was. If that boy did it again, that gun would have been in the trash can. I hate toy guns.

Oh and one shot the other one in the leg and the ER dr. had to dig it out. Fun. How about we NOT give kids guns that shoot stuff because...it's not a great idea? Oh and they shot the neighbor's dog. That's when I stepped in and "hid" the guns in the trash. They never did know what happened to them.<br /><br />I get that boys will be boys, but why give them something that can hurt other people then not supervise them?Poolside with the Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16898747616571945274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328270100582244263.post-48497843908781255082009-10-16T11:29:39.798-04:002009-10-16T11:29:39.798-04:00I guess we must have different ones.

And they don't really like real hunting much either.

His toy gun is bright orange and in no way looks like a real gun. We are VERY careful about not pointing at people or animals (or than birds or squirrels). My husband is a cop and a hunter so there are guns in our home but not where our child can get to them!! He will grow up learning to respect firearms and know they aren't toys..... there is a time and a place.<br /><br />To me this is like any other situation where some parents will make an excuse of anything..... their child will never be in the wrong."Cookie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/07584685355390220515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328270100582244263.post-30851414660075858712009-10-16T10:42:26.319-04:002009-10-16T10:42:26.319-04:00The airsoft that you need protective equipment for...The airsoft that you need protective equipment for are not styrofoam. You can look into this online if you want. They're usually plastic or light metal round pellets. However, if at close range with the type of gun your neighbor boy seems to have, even the plastic ones can cause welts. They can also damage property. You might want to call your city's safety board, a lot of areas have restrictions about them being used in neighborhoods.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558890826026404553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328270100582244263.post-16080394160798977212009-10-16T10:34:39.404-04:002009-10-16T10:34:39.404-04:00We have those guns and they're little styrofoa...We have those guns and they're little styrofoam pellets about the size of a bb. They must have different ones because I don't know why you'd need protective equipment. The ones we have don't even shoot very hard. But I guess you could put your eye out if you shot it straight in there.<br /><br />And seriously, having girls first, then having boys...they are different animals. Hard to explain. Boys will bite their toast into the shape of a gun and go "pow pow pow". They can also make that car motor sound the minute they're born.<br /><br />I guess I'm a bad mother because after all these years I've realized that there are things that you just can't control and if you try it usually backfires.

We are having similar issues with our neighbor (an adult) who thinks it's is acceptable to shoot and kill birds, squirrels, etc with his pellet gun. Did I mention more than one has fallen into our yard? I have no problem with legitimate hunting for food or even sport shooting at a range- but guns - even "safe" ones like airsoft, pellet guns, etc - should not be used to shoot at things in a neighborhood.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707629179642444026noreply@blogger.com
