I wasnt given a gun of my own till 12, but I was made well aware that the
absolute WORST thing I could do was go NEAR one of my dad's guns. (Which
he really should have kept more securely than he did, IMO.)

I was made well aware that pointing any weapon, even a toy, at a person
was grounds for corporal punsishment. I wasnt even allowed to have a
watergun.

A masquerade can cover a sense of what is real to deceive us; 
to be unjaded and not lost, we must, then, determine truth.
