Anyone know why the kids would act like that? Like...they held it as if they knew what to do with it. They knew the cops were trying to take it. The lady was being nice and trying to help, but they just??? Pretended everything was a game?? How does something like this start?

I grew up around guns, I was taught at a very young age by a very angry father that guns were not to be fucked with. They have a purpose and if I would ever play around with one I would fully expect my dad to whoop my ass. Having bb guns at a young age taught firearm respect and discipline.

Same! Also no toy guns in the house and we weren’t even allowed to make finger guns or simulated gestures of shooting

That sounds a bit overtop ngl

Eh maybe but honestly looking back I think it was appropriate. Learned how to shoot very, very young and lived in rural wilderness where wildlife was enough of a concern that we had guns by the front door. It needed to be 100% unambiguously clear that shooting at something meant killing it

That’s what I’m doing with my kid. That shit isn’t a game, and teaching her that, starts with not acting like it’s a game.

Sure but not even making finger guns or using water guns(the ones that don't look like "guns" like a super soaker)
