"Two 15-year-olds - one armed with a BB gun, the other with a knife - robbed and stabbed Wendell P. Rawlings last month outside the home of his sister, Stephanie C. Rawlings Blake, vice president of the city council."

So why not outlaw knives????

Does not surprise me. These guys also outlawed scooters and light motorcycles because they were being used in crimes. If they keep this up, pretty soon I'm going to feel really safe...

Dreams are for free people.

Liberals don't have dreams. You should not either.

''It looked so much like a Glock 17, when I put it on the table to show the commanders, a couple of them wouldn't pick it up because they thought it was a real gun,'' he said. ''It can be really frightening."

No wonder Baltimore has a big problem. Imagine police commanders who know so little about firearms that they are afraid to pick up a gun because it might be real. I hope that at least the guys who work for them know how to safely pick up a pistol, drop out the magazine and clear the chamber.

Hey, Baltimoreans!

You can get the Daisy Red Ryder BB guns at the Bass Pro Shop in Arundel Mills Mall.

I got one for Mr. A for Christmas and I can't wait to see the look on his lil' face...

The large, decaying cities are becoming the Last Stand for the Lunatic Left; islands of Marxism in a land increasingly hostile to them. The time is not far off when people in the US are simply going to refuse to keep funding these sewers of discredited socialism.

Attention Comrades! Turn in all illegal BB guns to the nearest police station at once! Do it NOW!

I wonder what they would have done with the 20 gauge I got for my 14th?

When I was a kid, I killed at least 150 ducks and 50 coots along with an unknown number of 3 toads with my pellet gun.....all for the sheer enjoyment of it....I also did a number on insects with my magnifying glass and sunlight.....

ahhh, those were the days.

Last weekend I saw a bumper sticker:
"Guns have two enemies: rust & politicians."

FYI, another anti-American, anti-Firearm commie move.

Yeah, everybody knows that BB guns are the biggest threat to American society these days. Every other problem has been eradicated, so it's time to clamp down on those airgun-toting miscreants. *sigh*

Guard: "That's not a real gun, is it, Clark?"

Clark: "Sure it is... it's a 'Magnum, P.I.'"

Guard: "That thing wouldn't even break the skin!"

Clark: "Yes it could. It... it could lodge under the skin and cause a very bad infection!"
