Boys should not play with weapons more dangerous than they understand.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is no possible justification or excuse for marketing dangerous weapons to children as if they were toys.
Some parents say it is toy guns that make boys warlike. But give a boy a rubber duck and he will seize its neck like the butt of a pistol and shout 'Bang!'
People should not be in a position where their children have access to weapons and ammunition.
Boys are quite often whimsical. Whereas girls are modest by nature and know their responsibilities very well. Their weapons are service, sacrifice, and love, by which they conquer over the males.
We must teach our children to resolve their conflicts with words, not weapons.
Adolescence, that swampy zone between safety and power, is best patrolled by adults armed with sense and mercy, not guns and a badge.
The kid who can play imaginatively doesn't tend to be violent. It's the same with adults.
The thing about a violent kid is that he can't play imaginatively.
Boy's natural play is rough and tumble play, it's the universal play of little boys. And it's very different from aggression. And we are a society that's failing to understand the distinction.
We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.
