I think it’s a strong argument for the 2 parent household. It takes a strong father figure to raise a child right. Counterbalanced by the tenderness of the mother.

Seems to be a strong connection between mass shooting killers and fatherless homes. And a perverse allure to internet talk boxes where these animals openly talk of killing.
This is physiological
This is from a lack of morality
This is from the disintegration of the nuclear family
This is also likely demonic
I think the solution does not need to be something washington haphazardly tosses together, but is rooted in the home.
We need to get back to morality, and a Christian nation that is more respectful of strong males (Fathers) and less tolerant of evil

Put those items together with a generation that wasn't raised with firearms as everyday tools, not taught the value of human life (all ages and colors), and that the US is a terrible place that's out to get you, and.....

Subject was toxic masculinity
In light of the recent shootings and all the chatter from the left
The guest was a special forces shooter, and fighter and actor and...
He nailed it, just nailed it. He explained that masculinity is not the chest thumping the left paints it to be, but it is a hard wired thing in males to protect and provide and be strong. He notes that the problem comes when you try to change that. He thinks it is normal to climb trees, rough around, get into fights and so forth as a kid. Parents who stop their children from doing those things are steering their boys away from the necessary training they need to be successful males.
He noted that a hundred years ago or more if you bad mouthed the president like some in government have in past days, you'd find yourself at the end of a duel. The toxic masculinity argument sets the stage for anybody to be able to say anything consequence free. But in a society where men are well established, one must be able to stand his ground. I observe that in Montana, yesterday a boy did not remove his hat during the playing of the national anthem and was back handed by a cowboy standing beside him.
I think that life is not totally safe or easy. I'd rather have my boy break his arm falling out of a tree than to arrive at adulthood having been totally protected all his life and have become a wimp. Recognizing that some of life is tough, but that in those times of difficulty the learning is taking place is the correct path in my view. When my boys get banged up on the gridiron or the wrestling mat, their coaches have been known to say, "Rub a little dirt on it and get up." No sympathy, that's for the ladies to lavish on them. But from the men they see that solum expression and confidence that comes from having walked the walk
Make sense?

Getting hurt is part of growing up so you don't raise boys as girls!

No helmets on my kids. They don’t cry when they get bruises or skinned knees.

One thing we have taught our girls is family first. They stick up for each other unconditionally and still fight amongst each other as sisters unfortunately. Baylee has had an ongoing issue with a crappy friend, read not a friend for some months. This girls falsely states something about Baylee to Shelby, Shelby unloads like no ones business then is able to walk away and sleep very soundly that night. This gift of not caring about people’s opinions lends itself well to confrontation.

My kids call other kids what JR saysDave, you might want to rethink the helmet thing. One thing getting a skinned knee or bruises but a head injury is not good.

Yes you have to let them be kids and do what kids do, not being passive about being bullied or be picking on others all the time.

Apparently the vertical distance to the pavement is the biggest factor.
I wear one when riding my road bike too.

Bullying, interesting as that was an accusation thrown at my middle daughter this week. You see Shelby (one who just turned 16) has a gift. Now for the record she has been probably, overwhelmingly the most challenging of my three to raise. She however gets the best grades, works hard and does not know how to back down. Her gift I was referring to is that she does not worry what anyone thinks. That in of itself is a double edge sword for a father at times.Man, I like your girls

You did in fact..... lol
According to my youngest Sam who was at Friday nights football game Shelby has three boys who follow her around non stop. Sam says Shelby doesn’t give them the time of day. As a Dad I appreciate that and hope she keeps it up for awhile. On another note, Shelby is getting pretty good running they five speed in the mustang so your boys better be quick!
