The Democrats in New York’s City Council are now moving to ban all toy guns, realistic looking or not. They say you can spray paint an unrealistic gun and then get yourself shot by police, and that, they also say, is a bad thing. One case they mention in favor of this ban was how a 17-year-old got himself killed after pointing a toy gun at the head of a police officer in an attempted mugging. Maybe I just don’t think like other people, but instead of my first reaction to that story being “We must ban toy guns immediately to prevent such tragedy” it’s “Dumbass! Good thing he killed himself off.”
Who will be most affected by this ban? It’s The Children™, that’s who. Boys love nothing more than to pretend to shoot each other, but, being denied toy guns to play with, they’ll have no choice but to become flaming homosexuals. But children’s feelings can be dismissed in legislative decisions because they can’t vote. That’s because most people believe that, if children are left to their own resources, they’ll do nothing but stick their fingers in electrical outlets and drink Drano. I, on the other hand, think children can have some political clout. They need to realize that, if first the government is allowed to ban toy guns, nothing prevents videogames or Barbie from being banned as well. So, children need to use a Democratic debating technique that they actually invented: the nagging whine.
“Mommy! I don’t want there to be Democrats in office!” a child can scream and then pound the floor with his fists. Eventually, the parent will have no choice but to vote out all the Democrats. Otherwise, the federal penitentiary will fill up with eight year olds found in illegal possession of squirt guns, which, I guess, will also end the nagging.
Why not just ban childhood in toto? There are so many nanny laws protecting children from themselves that there remains little reason to be a child these days. Those poor kids: horrible schools, pathetic television shows (Digimon is no comparison to Transformers or G.I. Joe or Voltron), crappy toys (can’t buy those all-steel Tonka dump trucks or anything sharp or metallic so they just sit playing XBox or Playstation for hours on end)…almost forgot that various schools are banning dodgeball (Greatest. Game. Ever) and Tag–that’s right–Tag. It seems that some people have an amazing aversion to allowing children to be that, children.
If they ban toy guns, I will just let my son play with the real thing.
A mugger points a toy gun at the head of a police officer and gets shot for his troubles. Big deal. I don’t care if it he pointed his finger at the cop and said bang – as you say, Frank, anyone that retarded should be expunged from the gene pool post haste.
I NEVER let my son play with toy guns, ever. From when I dandled him on my knee, it was Smith & Wesson all the way (except during the Clintonian Time Of Betrayal, of course, when he played with a Ruger Bearcat).
Now that he’s older, he (rightly) regards .22 rifles as “toys”, and hands out CCI Stingers to all the other neighborhood kids on Halloween.
I think it is stupid that they are banning toy guns i own a .22 air rifle and i have to get reed of it i think it is stupid any one that is with me please e-mail!
Great article.I have written an article on Epinions.com to the same effect. I ran across yours while researching for a new article I’m writing on allowing kids to play with toy guns. I’m having the hardest time finding articles that agree with us! They are all DON”T LET THEM PLAY WITH TOY GUNS! I was about giving up when I found yours.

You can’t just ban a toy just because police shoot people before they know if the gun is real.
Use your head you morons a toy is to be blamed for what a child does think about it. this is bull shit.

Frank,
Your ignorance pains me, as does the fact that you feel you have the intelligence or the expertise to make any of the judgements that you do. How can a man with so little knowledge feel secure in his thoughts? Clearly, real education has no real value to you, nor does any involvement in the real world. It is obvious you live in one of those pseudo-worlds composed only of your subjective beliefs. (Hint: This is not the real world.) If you’d like to take a road trip, I suggest something like the library. Please cross the smart our of your IMAO description, and replace it with the word, ‘ignorant,’ perhaps following the clause by the words, ‘who wishes he were smart’
Wow. You’ve expressed my sentiments exactly. And something you might want to know, that you of course neglected to point out, was that the cop was not in uniform. This robbery took place because that “dumass” didn’t know it was a cop.
That robbery took place because the parents were not there to supervise his actions and obviously did not educate their child. As long as we keep the children educated on what is real and what is fantasy also gun safety and also that guns kill and cause devestation then the children will know what the difference is. The robbery does not matter if it was a cop or not, what matters is that there was a robbery by someone who is still supposed to be under their parents control.

[To Commies above, BTW we knoe you’re all the same idoit]
F*** YOU! F*** THE LOT OF YOU! F*** YOU ALL! GO TO HELL! GO TO HELL AND DIE COMMIE BASTARDS!
Wow…this thread is pretty screwed up.
What does it matter if the cop was in uniform or in plain clothes? If I had a real-looking toy gun pointed at me in an attempted mugging I would try and find a way to air him out too.
Thanks Shorty. If some punk tried to mug me, I would blow him away first chance I got (with my .45). Bear in mind that I’m not a cop, so I definitely wouldn’t be in uniform. This doesn’t mean we should take all toys guns away from kids, it just means that an idiot got wasted.
Trucido,
Your on the mark here, but I would use my .357SIG, but its all a personal preference 🙂
They should give toy guns to all urban lowlifes so when they attempt to commit crimes of violence, we can safely kill them off like this piece of subhuman filth. Instead, the fascist nannies in NYC want to ban toy guns to protect oxygen thieves like that colostomy bag!
