Meh. I held my first firearm when I was 3, couldn't even pull the trigger.

    Just so I can pitch the reply correctly - is it the bad parenting, or the failed state you were born into, that you're looking for pity for here?

    Based on your handle(name), we probably lived in similar places. I only look for pity for helping others and shouldering their pain.

    Bad parenting? Ugh not really, maybe the leave me alone treatment or thrown against the wall or being whipped fun times. Aside that, it's like I had three cars in high school, an apartment, a credit card, and another apartment in another country, a 4k computer in the early 2000s.

    Maybe I want a place to vent. Is that so wrong? You aggress me just because "firearms" and ignore that I've helped many people throughout my life.

    What will probably piss you off is that I have 7 firearms on my bed right now, they need to be maintained and I'm lazy so I just sleep in another room.

    As a counter argument, are you looking to vent your frustrations on someone else? When's the last time you asked your friends how they're doing, or what's bothering them? One day it will be too late.

    Edit: down vote with no comment, classic didn't update sigh

    I'm not that guy, but...

    Dude, they are talking about your parents, not you.

    You've just listed a bunch of things that I'd associate with bad parenting. Physical abuse, emotional abuse, and spoiling with expensive items.

    I don't disagree. But I've learned how to overcome. I still did what I wanted anyway. I asked for a $600 beater so I could learn how to fix cars. I got a Mercedes instead. The first car I bought was a $600 non working jeep with 300k miles.

    It's probably why I had so many people come to me for help--I think I have a few screws loose; where I came from the kids had knives on the playground. I have two cuts on my face.

    It was a strange thing to have people in their 50's come out, being gay, to me; I don't have a problem with that. Or even tell me about what atrocities they experienced in their childhood. It's the only thing I can brag about, that people, even to this day, tell me their darkest secrets that they've held on to throughout their lives.

    Bad parenting is teaching your kids abstinence-only gun education. If you live in a country where half the people have guns, your kid should have a basic understanding of them. If you live in a household that has guns, your kid should have an avanced understanding of them.
