GUNS
GaryJanine
I myself believe in our forefathers "right to bear arms." If guns were
outlawed only outlaws would have guns! Studies can be and are often skewed
to the studiers opinons. Guns have a real and necessary place in our culture
and I believe total removal from a childs experience would only cause undue
curiosity and future problems.
I think it might be a good idea to drop the gun issue. We all have widely
different opinons and this topic is getting heated.

That is why there is a delete key. This conversation, IMHO, hasn't gotten
hot and we have all shared experiences and various other things we would not
have experienced without the conversation.
Hey, this one is mild compared to some <g>

Yup, Yup you're right Lynda!.......and I have some
more opinions, but I always suspect that there are
cyber monitors cued to pick up on and trace key
phrases or words. Having been a teen in the late
sixties, I tend to be hyper-alert to Big Brother.
When my DS#3 did a cyber-search on the Brady Law a few
years ago I kept expecting the Tobacco, Alcohol and
Firearms folk to tap on (bust in)the door.
Must be that independent pioneering spirit that allows
us all to explore so many avenues of thought and to
choose our own way(s) of of expression. I am HAPPY to
be made aware of the many points of view available to
such beautiful families.
Thanks, Sharon

or an evil thing, BUT I know quite a bit about them "by osmosis" from my
husband.
My husband, by the way (the gun rights advocate) asked me read the WHOLE
amendment once when I off-the-cuff mentioned it to someone (he, my husband,
was a little embarrassed about the way I threw it out there, the same way I,
Pit Bull defender, would be embarrassed if he told someone Pit Bulls were
harmless). The "right to bear arms" is only a sound bite. Wally agrees with
the anti-gun crowd that the founding fathers MAY (or may not, but may) have
meant firearms only for well-regulated militias, not every Tom, Dick and
Pam. And it doesn't mean he agrees with the founding fathers if this was
their intent <g>.
I think in debate that giving out bumper sticker slogans like "if guns were
outlawed only outlaws would have guns" (which isn't true anyway, police and
military would have them, no matter what other laws were made) isn't helpful
to your cause. And anyway, my favorite is, "I will fight for the right to
keep and arm bears!"

i agree with this....i sort my mail by subject. if there's a topic i'm not
interested in or have no info to share, i delete it. this back and forth on
the gun issue is really helping me. i'm the one who posed the question and
i'm in a transition with a lot of things with my son. there are only 2 people
in my personal environment who i relate to on parenting issues, and they're
anti gun. so having this forum really opens a lot of doors for me to listen
to different opinions.
