I saw this video on the news tonight. Here is just one accompanying story. I burst out laughing when I heard the punch line from dad.

 

You have to listen to the dialogue between the father and son. I realize that we try to shield very young children from life's harshest realities, but this seems over the top to me. You can Google the general topic and find a lot more on this.

 

If I had a son I don't think I would be counseling him like this. I didn't counsel my stepdaughter like this, and now she's an adult with her PA LTCF.

I saw it on facebook and actually feel sorry for them.  The level of ignorance, naiveness, and ignorance is astounding.  Stupidity abounds!

"Well, they have guns, but we have flowers," the father says.

"But flowers don’t do anything," the boy argues.

 

sooo close.....poor kid sees whats happening but only knows what daddy tells him. another lamb in the making.

I don't see anything wrong with the parental response in that context.

 

Problem is with all adults piling on and telling same to each other, singing kumbaya and possibly assuming problem is going to go away.

Im glad I wasn't the only one watching this the other night and thinking this kid is 100% correct and this poor bastard is too naive to realize it. Kids get it more than most people realize.

Item 12 on the evil overloard check list 

 

"One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation."

So here's the question for the NJ Legislature: are your gun control laws smarter than a five year old?
