In reply to the discussion: Family grateful for Texas City PD's handling of 911 call made over kids playing with Nerf guns [View all]locks
(2,012 posts)10. For many years
I have worked with so many great people trying to bring down the number of gun deaths every day in our beloved country but we have more guns than ever, more deaths than ever, more suffering and less protected than we ever have been. We don't stand a chance to change gun laws or gun lovers or stop killing..
One small change that would make a real difference is if we stop letting our children have any type of toy gun or anything that resembles a gun, not allow war games in our homes or schools or play and stop the manufacture and sale of all toy weapons. Our children would soon learn that guns are not toys and are only made for killing.
