  • True. I wouldn’t hand my kids bb guns at 8. I’m also sure you don’t hide dangerous items completely from your kids, and some way demonstrate using them responsibly.

    I don’t own any guns myself, so I used nerf rival guns to demonstrate safety to my children. Again, my biggest concerns are what to do with a found firearm, never point one at anything you don’t want to shoot.

    I also allowed them to hang out with Grandpa for an afternoon and familiarize themselves with firearms. If they were more interested in firearms, a bb gun would have been okay for them to take out to Grandpa’s firing range. I’m only referring to a spring action device, and my children are a little older.

    IDK about where the person you are replying to is from, but I see it as a viable strategy in the US. There are too many stories of children playing with guns and killing someone. Teaching firearm safety and demystifying them is like teaching sex ed.

    Not having firearms everywhere is a better answer, but I can only control so much.


  • It never struck me in the past, but Kenshin was putting away at half a brain all, “Yare yare, gozaru,” trying to recover from the PTSD of killing numerous people. He is trying to live this new life, and become the new person.

    When the past is dug up, be has a deep personality change. When Saito attacks, we see the real? old?Kenshin buried under all the layers of peace. Although we have seen the cracks in the past, I think this is the first time in the series that he seriously considered killing someone and thoroughly became his old self.

    I don’t know if it is intended, but Saitou’s first name is Hajime, or beginning. The character is supposedly based on a real person with the same name who served as the captain of the third unit of the Shinsengumi and later as a police officer.
