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

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.)

My Dear Mr. Rob Zaleski

1. assault rifles STILL require a Title2/ClassIII permit and BATFE transfer tax for civilian ownership, dumb-bunny
2. assault WEAPONS were legal under the AWB - including various forms of AR15 rifles.

waitaminnit... why am I trying to explain this to a bed-wetting hoplophobe?

1. If you were smart enough to understand the explanation, no explanation would be needed.
2. If you had any spine or bladder-control at all, you wouldn't be upset about AirSoft... except perhaps by the fact that they aren't capable of firing proper rounds of the conventional, "real", variety.
3. If you had any sense, you'd be irked by Slutz dolls and the alien-phallus "Boohbah" things marketed to children by the same lovely pervs who gave us the rather obviously homosexual Teletubbies (and, no: Tinky-Winky was NOT the only homosexual teletubby - they ALL were quite poofy).

So, ah... nevermind. I suggest you give yourself a "Holiday Gift" of rubber sheets - it is quite evident they'll see frequent use.

Merry Christ's Mass, you pencil-necked Donk.

I couldn't tell you how many toy guns I had as a kid. One I remember was the 'Johnny 7 One Man Army'. It fired all kinds of plastic projectiles. It converted into a sub machine gun/pistol/missle launcher. Had a bipod. Also fired caps (those rolls of red paper that had little spots of gunpowder that would explode) I turned out OK, but with regards to the article, I think 4 might be a bit young for a BB gun. I got one at 10. It was a Daisy that you poured hundreds of BBs into and 'hunted' all afternoon. No pesky songbirds in MY neighborhood! Of course, this was 40 years ago.

The dollar stores have any kind of imaginary gun a little kid could want. A couple of years ago my grandson was waitiing in line and talking about shooting birds. The lady behind us got a case of vapers and told him he couldn't shoot innocent little birds. He thought a few seconds and then reassuredly told her it was ok because he was going to eat what he shot.

He should wait until his son is at least 5.

They need to open that instituion on Lake Mendota again, Diana! It was working back in the 60s when I was a kid. We used to walk out the pennisula to get out on the ice to go ice fishing for jumbo perch.

Just get the kid an Easy Bake Oven and be done with it. Maybe a Divorced Barbie too.

and happened upon a black soft air rifle that fires plastic BBs

How hard does air get anyway?

When I was a little kid, I got a gift of a camo jump-suit, complete with "US ARMY" and my name on the chest, and a set of staff sergeant stripes on the sleves, and a miniature, toy M-14, complete with removable magazine.

I actually looked really cute in that outfit... I wonder what happened for me to become so "un-cute."

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.

"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?

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