In recent years, I have come across so many parents (many my friends) who say their kids would NEVER play with guns (in the sense of even toy guns) even to the extent that when I suggested there was a particularly fun ride in DisneyWorld (I am one of those annoying "young at heart" farts) where you shoot laser pistols at bouncing cartoon characters (something called Buzz Lightyear's Blasters or something like that), I got the very serious response that their kids would NEVER play something like that.
All this seemed so surreal to me. When the heck did this kind of thing start? And yet we have an explosion of video games with all manner of firearms. Seems like two divergently extreme universes are concurrent with a third reality that I am in. Totally weird.
