This is the BB gun I had when I was a kid (about 10 yrs old). It cost $15 at Kmart. I never once took it to school. I never took it out of the house. I never took it from where it was kept. It wasn't because I was afraid of getting in trouble at school. I wasn't afraid of someone thinking it was real. I wasn't afraid of the police thinking it was real. I was afraid of my parents and grandparents, because they told me 1 TIME! Not to take it outside without asking. I was afraid of what would happen to me if I disobeyed what they told me.
We live in a society of scapegoats, everything is someone else's fault, it's always because of guns, video games, movies, TV...etc. Parents just need to parent. Violent movies and games aren't new they have been around for a while, the problem is parenting has changed. Parents need to be parents and not friends.
