On December 13, the Village of Hempstead, N.Y. hosted the Long Island Toy Gun Exchange Program, modelled after so-called gun “buybacks” that target real firearms. According to a report from local newspaper Newsday, each child received one politically correct toy in exchange “for whatever water pistols, Nerf guns and other toy guns they turn[ed] in.”
Screw that, turn in the toy gun at the real buyback program and get real money for it.
Gun buy back programs are a great way for tax payers to get some of their money back and get rid of scrap or junk items that look like guns.
Way back when, I would have never turned in my cap gun for a pizza.
I’ll tell you, me and my friends would be in big trouble today.
We played with toy guns a lot. And we also, liberals will be aghast, we played World War II, and had teams of “Japs” and “Gerries”
None of us grew up to be serial killers or mass shooters or even wife beaters. None of that happened.
If they really want to have some imoact, go into the inner city, and do their toy guns buyback there. That’s where the majority of gun violence is.
Our 3 yr old grandson asked for a nerf gun. He is getting two of them. His other liberal Grandma is going to have a heart attack!
Turn in a forked stick and make some money.
Its abundantly clear that playing with guns as kids, does not turn a person into a gun wielding murderer.
Damaged families, lack of ethics in the home, lack of genuine faith/religion in the home with a consistent moral foundation, the craptacular public indoctrination system that doesnt care about kids at all,
these things are far more to blame for being factors that contribute to violent male and female thuggery in society.

Before she died, my wife’s liberal, gun grabber, tree hugger aunt was always very generous at Christmas. She gave my son $500.00 one Christmas. I asked what he was going to do with the money. “This and what I’ve saved will get me a 9mm” he said. The old lib never found out and he did the same thing the next Christmas...an AR-15.
That old woman would have died if she’d found out.
As long as kids have a forefinger and thumb they’ll play shooting games.
I’m doing my bit to evangelize the next generation about guns, with my children and now grandchildren. They learn first about safety and what real guns can do. Then I let them shoot a real gun, a 22 rifle, with me helping to hold (and control) the rifle, but they pull the trigger. They think it’s pretty cool and I’m sure they tell all their friends at kindergarten class about it the next day. For a kid that age, it’s makes a bigger impression than any toy buy back program.
They don’t particularly care about the violent, thuggery types. It does scare the shit out of many, and makes everybody OK (sort of) with an over-reaching police state. So there’s that.
It is the normal, peaceable people, the great mass of citizenry who need to be disarmed, in their view.
My husband bought our son a gun for Christmas two years ago. The gift giving had to be discreet because his MIL was in attendance and would have freaked. Our son asked for a gun to protect his family. Same grandma who is going to witness her ( and ours) 3 yr old grandson opening his very first nerf guns in a few short hours!
Love your story!
Held over the shoulder, it was a bazooka.
Held against the shoulder, it was a rifle.
Held against your side, it was a submachine gun or a BAR (depending on whether you were SGT Saunders or CPL Kirby).
Braced against the ground, handle end up, it was a mortar.
Balanced on your knees, it was a 50-cal machinegun.
No toy out there gave you the flexibility of a baseball bat when waging war in the back yard ...
Meanwhile muzzy kids will be sticking up on you guns.
Bad spell autocorrect. Meant meanwhile muzzy kids will be stocking up with toy guns.
All this nonsense got started with the murder of Bobby Kennedy back in 1968. Among all the other nonsense taking place, as the de-violence of comic books, pulp fiction covers, dumbing down adult (but safe for kids) TV shows to kiddie shows, butchering movies of all “violence” for showing on TV, and how the movie industry used “self policing” and a joke of a ratings system, to destroy the Hays Code, thus adding more sex and violence to theater movies.
Toy guns disappeared from stores, and kids were told to turn in their toy guns as the feminization and emasculation of America’s boys began.
One kid turned in a toy gun, got bragged on by the police and press for turning in his toy, then he said...”It wsn’t mine.” One reporter then said the kid would probably grow up to be a politician.

Oh boy, that’s going to be something to see. If you remember, please let me know how it went.
Merry Christmas!
Yup.
In reality they want citizens disarmed so they cannot stop lobtard socialist policies from taking more and more away from them, under the color of law.
Socialism is just ‘peaceful robbery by government’.
What is it with aholes who have the last name Acosta?
Long Island has hundreds of MS-13 gang members.
This Sean Acosta dirtbag better hope he never runs into some of these psychos in a dark alley.
Without a firearm he would be screwed.
