The anti-gun people are becoming a cartoon.

[pabianice]

In 1998, Massachusetts deemed guns "a public safety threat" and then banned most handguns in the state. Coming soon to your state.

It doesn’t hold up logically. And the real reason that kids are so damned fat is for the same reason the parents are. They eat crap.

If all you do is eat junk food, sweets and cokes every damned day then yes you will turn into a huge tub of lard. It’s for this reason that I’m not entirely opposed to doing things like taking the coke machines out of the schools.

The fact that we even have flavored water borders on the ridiculous. Water is what we’re supposed to drink. Our bodies are mostly water and yet most people treat plain H20 like it is the plague.

My daddy force fed me lard at gun point. LOL

They should be decathaletes. Wouldn’t the gunfire make them run?

[craigster_nc]

I would think the kids would be in better shape running home from school, and to and from friends homes etc. to dodge the bullets! ;-)

Michelle is going to be cheesed (not the kind that makes you fat) she didn’t come up with this first ...

[Oldpuppymax]

Understand, these people will NEVER rest until the 2nd amendment has been overturned and our guns are confiscated. The left cannot afford the right to keep and bear arms, as it is the ONLY thing which stands in the way of an utter dictatorship.

The Nintendo game system started the downturn in childhood activity.

I decided not to have children but if I did you can be darn sure they wouldn’t have a videogame system available for them to use except for an hour a day before bed.

Guns give my kids lots of exercise. Walking up and down range all day is exercise.

[uglybiker]

That can’t be right. Everybody knows childhood obesity is caused by tobacco and/or Republicans driving SUV’s.

[GraceG]

When we all get National Healthcare expect this study to be what finally gets guns banned in this country.

[death2tyrants]

Guns are directly responsible for only 10% of childhood obesity. The rest is due to:

Global Warming : 10%

Rich people: 10%

Bush: 10%

Tax cuts for the rich: 10%

CEOs: 10%

Men: 10%

Whites: 10%

Lack of Obamacare: 20%

Stupid me.
I thought we were going to get creative and say give them back their spears and make them chase down their prey.

argument against guns--that guns are forcing kids to become couch potatoes

Hmm, Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to his nephew had a different idea.

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.
