Hi,

IF there ever was a potential new gun law that I could be for..it would be to make this type of thing illegal. It is just too dangerous on so many levels.
How do you teach your 8 year that he can play with his "gun" but he must respect and not ever touch your gun when you made it look that appealing and similar to his. He does not know which is real and which is not...they both look like his toys.

Sincerely,
Theis

While I 100% agree with you. I’m pretty sure the one on the left is actually a toy also that someone put a real collapsible brace on.

That is where parental skill becomes involved. I had a BB gun that looked just like my fathers pump deer rifle and I never touched his, and it was just leaning againts the wall in the closet. All I can say is you have to put the fear of God in them.
I am lucky I only have a daughter and girls (at least from what I see) listen better and don't have the curiosity level boys do.
 
The neighborhood around the Marine Barracks in Washington, DC seems to be a fire-prone area; I was in DC back in June for work-related business and took a few days of vacation to see the sights. While waiting for the Marine Corps Silent Drill Team performance at 8th & "I", there was smoke coming from the neighborhood to the west.View attachment 6961393.

Dat's just some hucks smokin' weed the next block over.

This. When I was young, I had a silver revolver that looked just like my Dads Ruger Bearcat. We played with all sorts of realistic looking toy guns and never once touched his real firearms except when he took us out and taught us snap shooting with the revolvers. That was before this current climate of overly PC bubble child parenting.
 
Evidently CA posted that pic to their instagram page and it is a real CZ scorpion made to look like a nerf....

It’s just more CA ignorance, it’s a toy. My 2 year old has one, the “bullets” move up and down when you pull the trigger. You can scoop one up at Walmart for 8 bucks. They just payed a brace over it, it’s not even attached. I hope the majority of the comments related to this are just sarcasm/trolling. I’m usually just here for the T&A, but this caught my eye. If trolling, carry on, if not ..... I’ve got some beautiful ocean front property in KS for sale, only 2 million an acre.

This on the other hand is not a good idea with kids around

You have to know your child. As my daughter got older I will admit gun storage was a little lax on my part. In her late teens she had a fight with depression. I locked everything up tighter than a drum. Tighter than when she was 5, because now she is smart. If it was up to me she would not know the combo to my vault. But a couple months ago wife insisted when her and I were leaving the country for 2 weeks. Will and trust among other important documents are in there. Paper work she would need if anything happened to us. She has been golden for 4-5 years so I dont worry about depression/suicide. But the less people that know the better. Hell my wife knows the combo but can't get in.
There is not a set "age". You have to recognize each childs maturity level. Some people should never touch a gun regardless of trips around the sun.
