Anti-Gun Fairy Tales
No, no, these are REAL fairy tales! The NRA has come up with a couple of “fairy tales” showing what
would happen if the victims in the tales had been armed. One is “Red
Riding Hood and the Dead Wolf.” The other is “Hansel and Gretel and the dead witch.” Both ended with
the wolf or the “wicked witch” no longer a problem. The “Brady
Bunch” came up with their own “fairy tale,” starring “Alice
in Wonderland.” It was supposed to reinforce their “fairy tale”
that lots of kids kill themselves because they think guns are
“playthings,” by having her shoot herself. Which it does. But one
thing it IGNORES. The fact that families who TEACH their kids about
guns and gun handling, and that they are NOT “playthings,” fare
better in that respect, than families who treat guns as “the item
that shall not be named.” Those kids have a much higher number of
gun accidents than do families who actually TEACH their kids about
guns—which is what NRA is all about, in addition to resisting all
efforts to DISARM honest people, leaving the field open to ILLEGAL
gun-owning criminals. (Nate Jackson)
