Define shotguns with the catchall Assault Weapons term.
Recent funny story about the term “assault weapon”. My kid was not involved. We were not home. LOL
The kids in our (pretty conservative) neighborhood often have “nerf gun” and/or “air soft” wars/combat games. They are all supposed to have eye protection on all the time. They often pad up as some of the air soft hits at close range can sting and leave welts.
There is at least one kid in the neighborhood that has parents that forbid him to participate. All the kids know he is not allowed to pretend play with anything pertaining to guns or violence (including cops & robbers and “army games”). Apparently, he “sneaks” it. But he has to borrow toys to participate. So he was afforded a nerf gun and glasses in an airsoft battle by one of the other participants.
Apparently the kid learned that rocks were more affective and had better range than the nerf gun. In frustration, the kid from the snowflake family tossed a stone that connected effectively. Here is how the parental conversation went according to my neighbor that relayed it to me...
“Your son threw a rock and hit my kid in the mouth with it.”
“Your kid was shooting him with an assault rifle. He was defending himself.”
“It was an airsoft toy and your kid’s “ASSAULT ROCKS” are far more dangerous than my kids toys.”
