>>I never could get my mom to buy me a cap gun so I would buy just caps and hit them with rocks on the road.

The real ticket was to take a whole box of 5 rolls of caps, and whack it just right with the side of a hammer so as to get most of 5 rolls to go off at once. Hurt your ears and everything.

Ah, to be stupid and 8 again.

See my #60. I haven't played personally, but I have done the paintball thing several times.

Hanson says the department can't discourage the sale of BB guns.

"But we can encourage parents that if they have some compelling reason to buy Johnny a mock assault rifle to make sure that it's kept in the house."

Are you joking. Games of "war" have to be fought from yard to yard, or in an alley.

These anti gun idiots can go to heck and stay there. My 10 year old son is getting a new 20 gage for Christmas and a new bow for his birthday. Next year I will build him a new compact rifle for deer hunting. Two years later I will build him a full sized rifle in the caliber of his choice that he will use for a lifetime. I did these things for my daughters and they still hunt. A few years down the road and I'll be doing the same things for my grandchildren.

Sheesh... that's nothing. I picked up this one when I was over in Japan.

Realistic weight. Metal Construction. Comes stock with a side-folder stock and a 28 round mag. Upgrades include 200 and 240 round mags.

My eight year old is drooling for a German 8mm Mauser.

In simplest terms; he lives in a different world than you and I.

"What's more, he wasn't aware of a single complaint."

Complaint?

You mean like; "doesn't have enough power and range" ?

or; "Ammo too expensive and hard to find" ?

Like that?

"I've pretty much decided to get him something sports-related for Christmas - like, say, his first authentic metal driver"

When I read that, I immediately thought of driving tacks. They're metal!
