Damn Parents Have To Teach Thier Kids That These Things Are Not
Toys,have Them Go Out With You And Shoot Them A Few Times And They Will See How Powerfull They Are.and Talk With Them About Safety.
I Wish My Dad Did That.
He Would Make Us Run Out In The Field And Shoot Near Our Feet.
The Longer We Cryed The More He Shot And The Closer He Would Shoot.
After We Would Come Back In He Would Say.now Boy You Ever Going
To Touch My Guns When I'm Not Around.still Quivering Trying Not
To Break A Tear,cuz We Would Have Go Back Out There,would Say,
No Never.then We Got To Shoot The Guns-that Was The Fun Part.
Tough Love -- Tough Love.

My dad put a picture of my little brother on a big [ school size] can of katsup and made me shoot it with a 12 gauge. I was maby 5 or 6 . It seperated my shoulder and I hit the back of my head on the bumper of his truck . It knocked me out. When I woke up there was katsup everywhere and I was in a great deal of pain. I think I will just have a talk with my kids.

Well did it teach you not to go and fuck with guns.(at least till you got older)???

[Mr.Sinister]

NO! I used guns in my teens. It left me angery at the world and a bit amoral. I don't think I developed anything resembling empathy until about 29. I still have very little. I don't know if that is genetic or learned. I would guess learned. My road to recovery has been my kids. It requires that I grow up/past what I was. They make me a better person. With out them I would probibly be in jail.

SAME HERE...

[Mr.Sinister]

I was in a gang as a teen and alot of my friends went down for some real time. I am an angery man. I work hard every to be a better parent than I was shown. When I get pissed I am aware that I could act like my dad or be a better man. I use it as a reminder.

[RAZOR]

My Dad Phisically And Mentally Abused My Mom.and For Me And My Brother
For The Most Part Mentally Abused Us Too.a Mean Drunk He Was...
And He Was Always Drunk Or High All The Time.rarley Seen The Sober
Good Guy Side Of Him.seeing This Growing Up.i Vowed To Myself To
Never Treat My Wife Nor My Children The Way That I Was Exposed To.
I Believe That It Is Learned,the Way We Grow Up,and That It Could Be
Unlearned.or At Least Deprogrammed In Your Brain.i Seen A Cycle-my Grandpa Was The Same-his Dad Was The Same.my Uncles Were The Same.
I Promised My Mom That When I Got Older I Would Break That Cycle.
So For So Good..

You obviously are a better man, Sin! The thinking before acting part is the hardest!
I took my son, 8, out with the 410 and put a gallon milk carton full of water about 50 feet away. YOu should have seen his eyes when that thing exploded. I let him shoot it one time and he said, "Dad, I'm not big enough for that yet". He respects it very much. We shoot targets with BB guns a lot. He really enjoys that. Sometimes I get the pistols out. I've let him shoot them but he knows how to respect what they can do!

WHOS MAKES STUPID PEOPLE---PARENTS---

I wouldn't call them stupid as much as ignorant. How many people do you see in a gun store wanting to buy a gun and have NO IDEA what they're doing?

With gun ownership comes responsibility, period.

We have guns in our house, some are out and accessible but we do not have children. When our nieces come over, they're put in the gun safe. They've had limited exposure to firearms (both girls are under 6) - when they get a little bigger, I'll show them how to shoot just like my Dad did for me.

Yes, guns can kill and are dangerous but what scares me more is the SOB on the other side of the barrel thinking he's Dirty Harry with his finger on the trigger...

[Mr.Sinister]

You are all wrong. Bullits kill people.:grin: I did not like the way I was raised. But it made the man that I respect when I look in the mirror. Nobody likes to be tested that way. But when you make it out the other side stronger and wiser you can not deny the gifts you are left. I have a real sense of self worth knowing that I was tested. I would not be the dynamic man I am today without all that pain. I have a strength that can not be faked that is noticed by everyone I meet. I do not act like a toughguy but I get instant respect no matter how big and bad some guy thinks he is. I do not worry if another man is affriad of me or not. I makes no difference in what I am going to do when I am at work or in the ring. I posess a rare gift. I often wonder IF I would have done the things I have done[ that I am proud of] if not for my childhood.

That is very true. Our experiences and what we do with and because of them, make us what we are!
