[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 591009, member: 1967"] That is one of the many reasons that I don't have a Facebook account. easy child told me about the comments that she was saw after the president was re-elected and it made me sick to hear the racist comments and the hatred toward our president because of the color of his skin. As far as your daughter's desire for a gun . . . there is nothing that you can do about that except tell her that she cannot bring the gun into your house when she comes to visit. The sad part is that I doubt the gun will help her if she really does face a bad guy with a gun (God forbid). There is a great video that was made showing an experiment where college students where given guns and training on how to shoot. They were told a pretend gunman would burst into one of their college classes and their job was to "take out" the gunman. The gunman burst in earlier than they were expecting. None of the four college students (this was done in four different classes) was able to shoot the gunman before they were "shot." In one case, the boy couldn't even get the gun out of his waistband because it got caught up in his t-shirt as he was struggling to get the gun out. This boy had previous experience with guns and hunting. Ironically, the girl with no prior experience with guns at all did the best of the four because she did manage to shoot the gunman in the leg before she was "killed." The point of the documentary was that to have the necessary reaction time in a hostile situation takes continual training. One of the SWAT team officers said that if he even lays off training for a month he loses that reaction time. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
