New low for anti-gunners.

[Kelly Green]

A group of daddies in Buffalo, N.Y. organized a gun buyback. This was not your ordinary gun buy back. The program was for the children. They offered pizza and prizes to kids who turned in their toy guns. Their goal, stated by the president of the group, is to put the fear of guns into our children.

You can read the story on the NRA-ILA website:
NRA-ILA :: Outrage of the Week 9/9/11

Things seem to be getting progressively more ridiculous on a daily basis. Heaven forbid kids actually play with something other than a machine. Take that toy away, sit him/her down, and feed them more pizza. Wonderful idea! And DADS came up with this?

They should take away their pizza and wings, put them on a daily exercise plan (the President of that association and his cohorts too) take a march through BUFFALO at night, then see if attitudes start to change. Maybe they should just drive from Buffalo through East Cleveland at night and back while not using Interstate highway system and check their attitudes again.

What's next??? Arrest a kid for picking up a stick and saying "Bang", or playing cowboys and indians with the neighbor kids??

Sheesh!!!

They will be raising a generation of professional victims with a "just call 911" mentality. As we all know, there are two problems with this. First, you're assuming you'll have the time to call 911, and, second, that between your call and the time the police arrive nothing bad will happen. Good luck with that.

I've learned not to worry about the anti-gunners. It's the anti-gun-gun people that are the bigger problem.

I quit shooting skeet twenty years ago because so many "shotgunners" spouted anti-handgun/semi auto rhetoric directly from the HCI pablum fed to the media.

It was OK for them to own twenty five different shoguns, but if you owned that many handguns you were an extreme gun nut case and a danger to society.

I would joke about taking away their pizza since it causes a slow death but that's just being just as bad as them. I really want to think kids aren't so gullible. I must admit that while my Grandfather weened me into firearms while my mother and I mean no disrespect in saying this was the typical you will put your eye out about it for the most part. I'm not saying she tried to scare me straight, but still I was taught that guns kill. I'm still here and I still have a safe with some nice stuff. Heck, I even make my own ammo... I think a lot of this is going to boil down to personality types. I guess this could ruin some sheep type personalities but at the same time it could really inspire a few in the long run to the complete opposite. You never know.

So instead of playing 'war' or 'cowboys and indians' like we did with our plastic mattel guns and water pistols, these kids go to their Sony playstations, sit on the couch and play grafic killer video games. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

 

[Crazy88Fingers]

Of all the obstacles children have to deal with today, you'd think plastic guns would be a bit lower on the list.
