Fuck sake, this is completely inadequate.
I am glad I am not a child growing up in the ill-adaptable elementary school system that is present these days. I drew many things when I was a child, many fantastical and violent...an extension of the imagination and nothing more. The fact that I drew macabre things didn't classify a sense of violence, but merely a fascination and interest in something that is taboo.
Art is sometimes simply a way of looking at the world. I mean, can't one draw a gun without becoming one? I should hope so.
Anyone who has any kind of understanding of children should realize that art is a way for a child to work out a part of the sub-conscious. That is, the kid merely may have been recently coming to grips with a particular aspect of culture, experience and/or existence and used art as a means to express that.
That being said, a gun/airplane probably shouldn't prove alarming.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
