I prefer to think of it as utter stupidity...I'm sure it was there before they became parents
. I began shooting .22s when I was around 6-7, and had a shotgun before I was a teen, so I'm a "gun person" and have been all my life. I actually do have a problem with "cute", pink guns, and do fear some of the "gun fascination" that many have acquired in recent years.
ps: A guy I've known since college recently accidently shot himself with an unfamiliar handgun he'd received as compensation. He too had gotten caught up in the recent "gun mania" and he simply "had no clue". An intelligent, funny, 53 yr old attorney...dead. Guns aren't toys....I do not believe in making them "cute" (ESPECIALLY for kids), but everybody has their own opinon...YMMV
