Poll: Should Liberty Science Center sell a book teaching kids how to make toy guns?
NJ.com Jersey Journal ^ | February 11. 2015

Does a book that shows kids how to make homemade guns belong in a science museum gift shop?

One gun control advocate says such a book has no place at Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, where Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction 2: Build a Secret Agent Arsenal is currently available for purchase

Why would they need a book? I thought that was a trait born in to NJ folks. No?

better to teach them how to make or purchase good real guns
plus how to use them safely and effectively

Liberals are the most destructive force science has ever encountered.

This needs some industrial strength freeping! Still early.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Why stop with toys? How can you make a zip gun these days, since cars don’t have telescoping antennas any more?

“Ironic they want the “Liberty” center to censor its book sales.”

That’s what I was going to say. They’re asking the wrong question. It should be: Should N.J. be able to have a science center with the word Liberty in it since it’s a Commie state?

I believe that New Joisey doesn’t want to give up the undeclared patent on zip guns.

I don’t know what the flap is for, really. In good ol’ Connecticut, in the late ‘60’s, when i was attending high school, we had gangs fighting in the beloved halls of learning, with knives, chains, and a zip gun or two. The principal earned his respect, with a Louisville Slugger he used to swing, on one of the ‘next in line’ baseball teams, during one such ruckus. Things settled down for the remainder of that school year, considering he put the whole school on notice, that any more offenders would be practicing with the football team, attendees or not.

The pistol on the right was hand made out of a piece of railroad track. Lots of file work, but IT WORKS!

Back when cars had telescoping radio antennas, making a zip gun was easy as 1,2,3.

We made guns out of sticks too. With the right stick ansd imagination, we had anything from .45’s to Tommy Guns to M60’s.
