ROFLMAO! What a doorknob. Yep. No one, in the history of the world has EVER been killed with a golf club! (Hint: Martha Moxley, killed by golf-club-wielding liberal Fortunate Son.)

How can we possibly trust a kid with a bb gun? They're irresponsible and untrustworthy...
...better we let them get abortions without parental consent...

He is a moron, of course.
I don't like realistic fake guns, however, because cops and others occassionally think they're in real danger and respond accordingly.
Instead, I recently bought my daughter her first .22, which she will use responsibly.

Actually, there have been a number of husbands killed with golf clubs while teaching their wives how to play. I use to know the statistics buy have forgotten them now. Perhaps someone has the energy to look it up.

I'd tell this clueless liberal to simply not buy one if they don't please her. But as is the problem with liberals, they butt in where they have no business and try to force people to adhere to what they want. As for myself, operating a small independent film production company these realistic and rugged props are immensely suited for filmmakers on a tight budget. I have some models that have never had a BB-fired through them, and are purely for show.

Yes, the same kind of assault weapon that gangs have used to gun down police The same kind of weapon law enforcement uses to keep the peace. The same kind of weapon homeland security uses to protect your A**. The same kind of weapon the military uses to defend your liberty. The same kind of weapon peaceful, responsible, law abiding people use to protect themselves and their families. I feel sorry for the son of this sorry wimp.

It's not even a BB gun. It shoots plastic "BB's".

Maybe you should consider getting one of these peace loving dolls:
This Eid al-Fitr there is a new must-have toy on the Muslim child's wish list - the Razanne doll. With her pre-teen figure and aura of humility she doesn't, at first glance, stand out in the gaudy world of children's toys. But she has captured the hearts of Muslim girls across the US, Canada, Singapore and Germany. And now the doll, whose name translates as "shyness and modesty", is available in the UK.

Nice; wonder why she ignored her grandson the last three years? Who thinks like this, anyway?

The guy's a grandfather, so he has some years on him, yet he pens this piece of tripe. How can one live so long and learn so little?
To: Diana in Wisconsin
But what sort of parent, I asked Jason, would buy such a thing?
He shrugged. "I wouldn't buy one for my kid, I can tell you that much," he said. "60 bucks for a plastic BB gun is pretty steep. Besides, I've already let him put a couple of thousand rounds downrange on the real thing, so I imagine this would be a bit of a disappointment if ya know what I mean. Do you shoot 5.56 or 7.62, Mr Hoplophobe?"

Your stupid "scary-lookin gun ban", along with Hillarycare, is why you got a Republican-controlled congress.

I must confess that it's probably been two decades since I've done any Christmas shopping for kids. So I was a bit taken aback when I visited ShopKo last week - searching for an action toy for my 4-year-old grandson - and happened upon a black soft air rifle that fires plastic BBs and bears a striking resemblance to an assault weapon. Yes, the same kind of assault weapon that gangs have used to gun down police.
Well, did you buy it for him?? the kid would love ya!!

Another disgusting part of the article is that the author has no clue what the 2nd Amendment is really about.

lesson 1 "This particular gun was called the Crosman Stinger R34 and, according to a promotional ad I found on the Internet, it's modeled after the "legendary AR-15" assault rifle. Which, it so happens, is one of the many assault weapons that were illegal in this country until last year, when the Republican-controlled Congress allowed a 10-year ban to expire."
The real reason for this article.
Lesson 2:"But what sort of parent, I asked Jason, would buy such a thing?
He shrugged. "I wouldn't buy one for my kid, I can tell you that much," he said."
Shopco managers are not demographers or marketing analyst.
Lesson 3: "Mike Hanson, a spokesman for the Madison Police Department, says law enforcement officers have long wondered why stores carry look-alike fake guns. Especially BB and pellet guns that are almost impossible to distinguish from the real thing."
Law enforcement agents apparently do not want children today to participate in the same sort of playtime activity's that many of them did when they where first beginning to become enamored with law enforcement.

He pointed out that the Stinger R34, which sells for $59.99, is used mainly for target practiceWhat else would a BB gun be used for if not for target practice? Especially one that shoots plastic BB's. I love how people need to state the obvious for the ignorant.
