Its amazing how growing up i used to play army and such pretending to shoot my friends and my brothers, and sometimes getting shot myself. I grew up in a small town in east Texas so there wasnt really a whole lot of violence there like you hear about now.  But I did grow up, joined the Navy, and thats where i got the real education of what guns and violence can do.
  I seem to be in the middle when it comes to the gun thing, But The message is no matter what, If kids have a play gun they should be taught that having a gun in your hand is a responsibility, and should be respected that it can cause harm. I think thats whats wrong with the whole gun issue. no one takes responsibility for owning the guns.  I recently told a friend that if your gun is taken by anyone and used to hurt someone, its still your responsibility because you own it and should have stored it properly. 
Love the site guys hope your all well. We miss you in WACO!!!
