Hans, forgive me if I’m wrong, but to me it sounds like you’re bashing on America there. Yes, of course the gun violence in the U.S. is a problem with school shootings and everything that happened as of recent, but it doesn’t mean that people should shy away from making jokes that may offend people. If you have dark humor you should understand that, if not then I don’t really think you do. Yes, it is a reckless photo because of the lack of safety when harboring a firearm, especially publicly, but that would be like saying because of all the bad that has happened in the U.S. that guns in general should be banned. Which, if you’re educated on the Constitution, is one of our rights. The safety should be on, if not being used it should be properly unloaded, pointed either at the floor pointed away from all parties and limbs or faced upwards if it’s a one story home, in case someone accidentally left it loaded and it misfired since all machines are bound to have malfunctions.

I agree with the other commenters - this is obnoxious. Worried about your teenager daughter? Then encourage self respect, assertiveness, awareness of danger and confidence in her own judgement. Don't treat her like a mindless object that needs you to protect them from boys, who are apparently out to abuse them. Really unhealthy attitude, even when used in jest

This is just so wrong! Your daughter is going on her first prom so you take a picture with her and her date with a gun??? You meet a boy she likes and you, just like that, start to threaten him? What the hell? Do they really think it's ok to read private messages of their daughter, take her bra, put it on, take a picture and send it to her boyfriend? Because it's not ok to act like you daughter is your property who needs to be controlled, who doesn't deserve privacy, who can't choose her own partner, who can't live her own life. This is just wrong. These fathers are not good parents :(

Just reading some of these comments. God damn, people. Don't you all have some sense of humor?

I think most of these are meant as a joke. I find them amusing, not sexist, obnoxious or whatever other negative thing. With so many girls ending up in abusive (mentally, emotionally, physically) relationships, I can understand a dad’s natural protective instinct. As an only daughter and as a parent with a husband, I laughed quite a bit and was able to relate to many of these
