[QUOTE="Janna, post: 245370, member: 2737"] Here's my take on guns. Toys or not. I feel like I have a worthwhile opinion because we have many guns in my home. My SO is a huge hunter, J wants to hunt (D never, ever will hold a gun), and it's a part of our life. Guns are serious. They may be "cool" but they are deadly. We allow the boys to play with toy guns here, but the rule is, if you're not responsible with it (i.e. pointing it at someone) we take it. It's gone, for good, end of story. And, although that may seem silly because it's a "toy", it's a respect thing. That's just us. We have NO video games hooked up to the TV. I HATE video games. But, my kids like em, so they have PSP's, and I take them, 8 PM sharp, and they don't get them until after school, after homework, after dinner, after shower. So, maybe 2 hrs a day, 4 or 5 weekend, total. And, they stay locked in my room. NO games with guns - racing games or cartoon type only (Spyro, Crash). in my humble opinion, games like Grand Theft Auto should be saved for the over 18 crowd, no discussion. Those games (I sound like my mother) are nothing but crude, rude, and degrading. [/QUOTE]
