My dad thinks it's not healthy for me to be interested in fire arms, even though I've made it clear that I don't like killing things, even game. He won't even let me own an obviously fake cap gun (although I bought one secretley). Ironically, he's in the National Guard. What's the big deal? It's an interest, not an obsession.

I don't want to own a real gun, he just doesn't like when i ask questions about fire arms or look at airsoft guns

The issue may not be with owning guns.
It may be a matter of him wanting to make sure you respect how powerful and dangerous the weapon is before getting one. Guns are not toys, despite any similarities.
The problem with many people is that they get guns without having the proper training and respect for the weapons. If you show him that you are willing to put the effort into being responsible, that might change his opinion over time.

Being in the National Guard your father should take the responsibly of teaching you gun safety and respect of a fire arm. Kill as many paper targets as you want, then be responsible and plant a tree.

nothing is wrong with it...he sounds like an irrational father trying to be over protective...i think he should teach you how to use them and how to be safe with them...that would be better than to ban you from touching them...
