I took Eko shooting today, we got to talking about stuff. I let her shoot the .40, and I said to her, "Now you can tell your friends you got to shoot your dads .40". She told me, "We aren't allowed to talk about guns in school".
Wait, WTF?
I said "What do you mean, you're not allowed to talk about guns in school?" She said, "Yep, we can't talk about them, or we'll get suspended". "Ohellno" I said. "You can talk about whatever you want in school, and if you get suspended, you're not in trouble". I said, it don't matter if you are 9 or 90 you have freedom of speech in this country, if you want to talk about God, guns, or anything else that doesn't hurt anybody else, you can, and if they say anything about it, I'll go down there myself and deal with it".
She said, "Oh we can talk about religion, or whatever else we want to, we just can't talk about guns". I said, "Lemme get this straight, you have a first amendment right, and you can talk about it, but you can't talk about the sacond amendment". She says, pretty much". I said, Well, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense now, does it?. She says, "Nope." I tell ya, the girl knows what's up, even though she's only in the 4th grade.
So, my 9 year old daughter, who is a pretty darn good shot by the way, can't talk to her friends or teachers when she goes out to the range, or if I bring her to one of the OC picnics with you fine people.
Rant off.
