The 8yo is playing my new copy of “Shadow of War” and one of the Orc captains is named “Flogg the Wyrm” and lolololololol
Middle-Earth masturbation euphemisms:
Flogg the Wyrm
Boppin’ Bilbo
Polishing the ol’ palantir
Strangling Saurumon
Forging the ol’ One Ring
Spinning Shelob’s web
Mining the ol’ Misty Mountain
Slapping Samwise

I shouldn’t have to constantly worry about my elementary-school-aged kids being shot. My 8/6yo should not have to practice active shooter drills and worry about being gunned down at school.
This is not normal.
Your fetishization of guns does not outweigh my children’s safety.
You don’t need a semiautomatic rifle. You don’t. Not just AR-15s, AKs or the “scary looking assault rifles.” You don’t need a rifle that is essentially the same as the one I killed with in Afghanistan. You’re not going to fight off the government with it. It’s not worth our kids.
