OK and they are brainwashing those kids "against or for" what ?

Index finger out all the rest in a fist = gun - well not in India, middle and index out is in india, but I am splitting hairs - so the kids are showing gun ... then what happens and what do you say is the reason for it ? Or what the goal is ?

Cool.

They draw a gun, expelled from school, maybe arrested.
point, say bang,, cops are on the way

YOure not stupid, why would anyone do that?

YOuve fallen & hit your head. YOu think this stops at school? You Agree with punishing someone for a THOUGHT? Is expressing the Idea of the word GUN so horrid?

[quote]Aaaah nice work confusing the cause and the effect you 2.

Lets try this one more time.
Cause - Columbine.
Effect - The need to discourage kids form thinking guns are cool.

That isn't indoctrination or brain washing. Its preventing another columbine[/qoute]

Actually you are the one who is confused. The politicians who are pushing this stuff - Fienstien,Biden,Schumer,Pelosi, Bloomberg...- have been doing it since long before Columbine,or Newtown,or Va. Tech. They simply use the horror and disgust generated by these terrible events to further an agenda that has nothing to do with protecting kids or preventing the next lunatic from commiting a similar outrage.

They are in fact dancing in the blood of the victims of those horrible crimes to promote their own statist political aims. This stuff didn't start with Columbine.

As far as discouriging kids from thinking guns are "cool" you are partly right. Kids need to to taught that guns are exactly what they are. Objects that are useful if used properly and treated with respect, and extremely dangerous and capable of doing great harm if used irresponsibly or with malice. Teaching kids by punishing them, that a picture of a gun, or pointing a finger, is the same thing as a real weapon simply makes guns some kind of magical evil object in those kids minds.

If the intention is to turn that child into an adult who is terrified of guns and will never understand that they do have legitimate uses, then the kinds of policies in our schools make sense. On the other hand if you want to turn that child into an adult capable of rational thought and able to discrminate between real and imagined danger, they do not.

OldNslow - I dont ever recall mentioning Biden, Pelosi or any of that BS.

Thanks for making my point that kids need to be taught that guns are not toys. Needless to say punishing kids for making bang bang isn't the best way to educate kinds about uses and dangers of a gun. However you do know that these are people who have never handled a gun right.

I think the most effective education can be brought about by a gun user who is pro gun violence reduction. I dont know who of the senators/congressmen are that kind. Hence we have a sledge hammer instead of a toothpick, and the nra turning the sledgehammer into one without a handle.

Cool.

You didn't have to mention those names. Those are the people that have been pushing their own anti-gun political agendas the entire time. Some as long as I can remember.

This starts at school when you're an impressionable youth. If it were meant to end there they wouldn't display a gun on the news every time there was a stabbing.
That is conditioning. You have to be aware of your target demographic. How many kids do you know that watch the news?

Hell no, that elevates the gun into a "forbidden fruit". The education about a gun needs to focus on its use and safety, and the fact that its not a toy. And I already said that.

Cool.
