My grandchildren have real guns (teach them young. I was NRA trained young and I still remember all my safety lessons. That was before the wackos took it over) and love playing out doors just like their Dad did when he was growing up. Plus our well water is really good.
I didn’t have to spank my kids, but I did tell one of them if a teacher ever hit them to come get me and we would march right back to school so I could hold them down while the teacher did it again. That one stopped acting up in school.
