Well the next thing is they will want the kids to smash their toy airplanes because that is what was used on 9/11.

Idiots

[TriggerHappy]

Sounds like more of a parenting problem...

and some day little Suzi, a bunch of men are going to come and they will have guns and you won't, your Daddy and mommy won't. They bad men wont care about the law and they will shoot the policeman, they will shoot your Daddy and then they will rape your Mommy and you just to "even things up".

Because the liberals fed your family and your city a lie and everyone believed it.

Hmmm, I learned many of the important rules of handling guns, using toy guns as a child, namely not to point them at anything I didn't want to destroy.

Yup, sure glad me and my family aren't that naive. I don't have any problem with people hating guns, it's when they infringe on my right to LOVE guns.

I slept with a belt fed M-60 as a child. Had a couple of civil war musket cap guns... and pointed them all at ANYTHING THAT MOVED....hahahahaha.

that M-60 was cool though, had these stupid plasic half-a-bullet belts ao ammo, they looked like real bullets from the top, but there was not bottom half, just hollow. They fed nice though :D

It's all about reliability. Come to think of it, none of my toy guns ever malfunctioned or missed. They were laser accurate. Hell...with a couple of mods, even a stick could quickly become a lead thrower to be feared by imaginary villains all across the neighborhood.

Childhood in the 60s was so much better than it must be today. For fuck's sake...we even had real hippies to shoot!

Anti-toy gun libtards can kiss my right-wing, gun-clingin', liberal-hatin', skinny, uber-conservative, white ass.

I think I'll send my granddaughters a couple of toy guns for Christmas.

I had the same type only mine was a full size M14. My mom got it at the G.E.M. store on south Broadway. I remember the back of the box had cut out targets that when you hit them they would spin. I literally wore that toy rifle out. The cartridge casings had a spring in them and you loaded the bullet into the case, loaded the magazine just like the real deal and when you pulled the trigger you had about 10' of range.
At 14 I was building my first muzzle loader, a copy of the Modena rifle.

Such a demented childhood[Muaha]

I don't know, this part is really good too.

I Do not hate my Government.
I Hate the illogical choices and fear mongering policies they are adopting to turn Citizens into sheep.

I Grew up, Seriously, a stones throw from the Army Airfield at Stuttgart WG my first time to Germany. Nothing says "Fucking Cool" Like getting to sit in an apache Helicopter for a school field trip.
Being Military, we were Dirt Poor. I mean... I Grew up reading FMs on cratering charges and Demolition (FM5-250) M-16 Marksmanship (FM3-22) I would even sit and read FM23-35.
TV Was few and very far between.

On weekends I would go help Dad in the motor pool or when he would get back from the field we would go clean gear at the barracks. It was the 70s, I was learning to clean the M-16. I was 9 years old.

I find it amusing that regardless of the fact that My Father would whip my ass when I Stepped out of bounds, which nowadays lands you in prison for child abuse, I learned to field strip and clean "FULLY AUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPONS!" When I was a child, I Didn't turn out to be a murderer or a terrorist. Funny, Kinda blows the whole Liberal propaganda machine to shit.

It was probably only 2 minutes after opening my gift of dart guns that my brother and I started our first, full out dart fire fight. We are both here still today.

Totally stupid BUT we all had BB rifles when I was a kid and we had BB gun battles ! We all agreed to no headshots and I'll be damned if the old "you'll shoot someone's eye out" never happened. While I wouldn't support this activity as an adult, those were some great days !! [Beer]

i will never move back to Massachusetts. I grew up in the city of Boston. I love it out there, but will never move back. Maybe to VT or NH, but not Mass. oh and the fact that all my guns are illegal there. hahah

Some children were not thrilled with the trade.

Malik Hall, a round-eyed second-grader, looked apprehensive as he stood in line with his favorite toy, a thick, blue gun with plastic sword underneath the muzzle. The 8-year-old was furious when his mother, Amanda, told him he would have to give it up. Yesterday morning, he tried to hide it under his pillow, she said.

“I’m worried,’’ she said. “He might cry.’’

But when it was his turn, Malik strode dry-eyed and with quiet dignity to the Bash-O-Matic and fed it the gun. When his mother approached, he said nothing.

“You don’t want to talk to me?’’ Hall asked. He looked at her stonily and left to retrieve his gift.
Yeah - nothing says "I love you" more than forcing a child to destroy his favorite toy.

We once had some dipshit sheriff's deputy pull over his car and start yelling at my friend to lay on the ground. We were about 12, playing guns, and my friend was stalking across my front yard with his hands shaped like a gun. It must have been that guys first day or something. He couldn't wait to tell me that he worked at the jail for the sheriff over and over again.

How do you teach children to be safe with an automobile? It isn't by avoiding them and making them out to be an item of evil. Nor do you have matchbox car crushes. You teach them how to safely handle them and to respect the power it holds.

OK now, Don't be bringing logic into this discussion. Everyone knows that when you try to use logic on liberals they resort to name calling.

"Some parents confessed that they bought guns just a couple of days before the event so their children could get a gift or watch the Bash-O-Matic do its work.

“He likes the feeling of breaking things without getting in trouble,’’ said Dominic’s mother, April Johnson, who bought his gun just a couple of days ago."

Just like the real gun buy back programs.

"Diane Levin, professor of education at Wheelock College, said police and parents coming together to destroy toy guns sends a powerful message to children."

Spoken like another expert on children who doesn't have any of her own. Here is the powerful message: Hide your guns or someone bigger and more powerful than you will take them away.

wow. i dont have much to say. just alot of head shaking to do.

There's some great parenting there...

That is the same thing I thought.
This whole thing is an example of sperm donors/recipients not being parents and not teaching their offspring morals.

Talk about "Pussification"
