I Shot a Kid in Reno

Though I don't agree with all of the commentary for this on Pandagon, I still got a slight chill up my spine at the nostalgic, 'back in the good old days' tone of the post mentioned.
Also, I too pictured a large bazooka-type potato gun - with the writer's little angel laying prone on the floor after mommy whacked her sniper-style with a high-speed spud.
One has to wonder, on reading this, if mommy would be so happy about kids bringing potato guns (or water guns) to school if her daughter was the victim of bullying. Or would she simply send her daughter 'packing', so to speak: "Take this, honey - for protection."
