We skipped the guns and went straight to chucking crabapples full strength at each other's heads...ever been hit with one of those? You'll see stars...and learn how to move fast real quick!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Way back when it wasn't unheard of in my neighborhood to have bottle rocket wars and the dads often provided the bottle rockets.

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
Look at this as a conditioning event for a political movement that will actually get you to give up your weapons down the toad. If you fail, try try again. Everyone needs to conform to the narrow norm of a bell-shaped curve. E-gads....
The hand that rocks the cradle...convince them early that there is no reason for anyone to have guns, not self defense, not hunting, etc. Then these anti-gun kids will grow up and vote to disarm their fellow citizens.
There are also groups that want to make hunting illegal until 18. Scary, kids of 14 and 15 with high powered rifles and semi-auto shotguns.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
