At first, I was hoping that the article was an April Fool's joke, but it looks like just a bunch of plain ol' fools getting together up there. I'm not even sure what to say to such nonsense...

The local order of violent felons has thrown it's support to Attorney General Lynch after polling members and finding that 100% of it's membership prefer unarmed victims.

[A Jovial Cad]

I'm not even sure what to say to such nonsense...

Me, neither. It simply defies parody or sustained serious ridicule, being so inherently silly on its face...

[Sender]

Me either. This is just wrong. To teach youngsters that the mere presence of toy guns is causing them to do wrong.

the Bash-O-Matic, a wacky toy-gun-crushing device

Why don't they ever use the Abort-O-Matic, a wacky toy-baby-crushing device?

[1FASTGLOCK45]

I agree
What a bunch of loosers! Antigun because they are too dumb to realize guns don't kill people, azzholes kill people.

"What better way to get kids to realize the repercussions of real-life violence and get them thinking of ways to re-think how they see the world and how they play then by offering them a free basketball," "

Basketball:" A lib's new definition of a "device" one can use to protect themselves from rape, robbery, home invasion, etc.

What about hunting? "Yeah, I bagged me a six pointer at 50 yards; I beaned it with my basketball."

G-d protect us from fools, retards and libs. Oh,that's right, they are the same aren't they?

""My staff and I have been working on initiatives to encourage non-competitive play, games where everybody is a winner and no one in singled out."

Socialism, liberalism and communism are alive and well, and continuing to make inroads in America. Competition is dead in this town, if the lib-dem garbage get their way.

will be teaching kids the lost art of jumping rope, one of many non-violent, non-competitive activities

Jump Rope Competition

[Lion Den Dan]

"...teaching kids the lost art of jumping rope, one of many non-violent, non-competitive activities ..."

Seems the reason for jumping rope was to see how many times you could jump without missing. I tried to jump more times thanb you could. Some of the rhymes to which we jumped were so cute, non competitive and kind as well.

Kids are encouraged to bring their toy guns to the entrance of Calcutt School…

I wonder if it is on school property. I can see it now – all the little children suspended under the zero tolerance program.

Shouldn't the text read, “…a wacky toy-gun-crushing device designed for Patrick Lynch by the folks at Big NAZI Puppets.”

[AngryJawa]

This sounds like a wonderful event for a FReeper with an NRA tee-shirt, a very large and scary-looking SuperSoaker, and a good sense of humor.

This kind of brownshirted indoctrination must be countered.

[WV Mountain Mama]

We got our 3 year old a BB gun for Christmas. He also goes with daddy when he shoots trap, sights in his rifle and they have gone squirrell hunting together. My son already knows that he is not to touch any guns because they are dangerous and he is too small. He knows not to touch his BB gun unless daddy is with him.

He hasn't shot his eye out yet either.

....Big Nazo Puppets...

Catchy name, Big Nazo.

On the bright side, between the two RI gun clubs I belong to, we have a hundred twenty junior rifle shooters, who compete regularly.

There are two Rhode Islands, the commie pond scum inside 295, and the rest of us out in Dorr's country.

"My staff and I have been working on initiatives to encourage non-competitive play, games where everybody is a winner and no one in singled out. We want kids to learn that play can be cooperative as well as competitive, and that not doing well at something isn’t the end of the world."

Raising the next generation of of gun grabbing sissy boys
what a bunch of loosers

while showing them fun and practical alternatives to "violent" and "competitive" play

Why don't they just hand out the magic brownies and keep the kids totally zonked out, they'll be easier to handle that way.

[Mulder]

This is genuinely beyond parody.

It would take about five seconds to compose a highlight video of every fictional and real life boxer jumping rope.

There is at least one scene in every Rocky Movie, and every title fight dating back to the beginning of the 20th century has newreel footage or still shots of the contestants jumping rope in training camp.

Last I heard Boxing was considered a reasonably competitive sport.
