I was driving yesterday, in my own world, when I caught the end of the following conversation in the back seat:
. . .machine guns are used primarily for military activities, not hunting.
Unless you get a stampede of a hundred deers.
Yes, but you would probably run out of bullets.
But don't machine guns have lots of bullets?
Yeah, but they come on a string that is in a box on your belt and there probably aren't a hundred on a string and so you'd have to stop and reload if there were a hundred deers.
Is this a result of the extreme hunting culture in this state? Or simple boy biology? I'm voting for the latter. I later took the boys to spend their Christmas cash from Grandma . . . toy guns. I've never seen them so excited about a toy. I've thrown in the towel. The boy DNA is stronger than I am.

Seriously. There isn't any way to beat it. If you don't buy them toy guns, then they turn sticks or bananas into guns. It really IS in their DNA.
Amen! When asked about my former "no-guns" rule, I replied that I would have to outlaw ball point pens, sticks and toothbrushes in order to enforce. So, like all my former resolutions, it's gone out the window. (I remember the days of swearing I would go Flintstones before I drove a Minivan. Ahem . . . )
Basically I will just echo your own comment to post except adding their fingers make a ready weapon poised for counter-attacks as well & can't really get rid o' that not to mention their oral fixations but that's a diff post eh!?! Proud to say haven't succumbed to minivan yet...still holding out:)
