Toy gun ban
Kathy links to this piece on an effort to ban toy guns. Asinine excerpt:
The spirit behind the Towns bill is outrage that toy guns exist at all. “It seems that the only thing toy guns accomplish,” Towns wrote in a letter to congressional colleagues, “is to make it easier to commit a crime or whet kids’ appetite for a real gun when they get older. They serve no purpose in society and should be banned.”
My child hasn’t been born yet and s/he already has his/er first real gun.

My three got a bb gun when they turned 5. I always bought one with the safety. And I demanded they treat it for what it was, a gun. Now it’s my grand kids and the first turns 5 next year.
The kids that don’t know anything about guns are the ones that get you killed.

Absolutely chuck. Kids with no exposure are more dangerous. Why? Mom and dad may not have them but they could find mine or the neighbors.
