Once again the legislators of this country are doing their best to "save" us from ourselves. Apparently, people are too stupid to have even fake guns.
"Federal law requires toy guns or imitations to bear an orange tip, indicating they're not real. However, lawmakers say those tips are often disguised or removed."
Now lawmakers are passing fake gun control laws. There are bills under consideration to prevent people from having paintball markers in their vehicles. Come on.. a few stupid people do stupid things and not a 10 year old can't carry around a BB gun on his way to the woods for fear that the sheeps of America will run in fear. Little Johnnie can't carry around a snapgun anymore because we have become so scarred of guns that now we are preventing kids from playing Cops and Robbers or Cowboys and Indians.
Where is common sense anymore? We have already had dodgeball and Red Rover banned in schools because they are dangerous. Jungle Jims are all padded because, god forbid some kid bang his head on a bar and learn from their mistakes. Playing "war" was a staple of growing up. It taught you team work, how to throw better (water balloons as grenades), and the virtues of a more grown up version of hide and seek.
"It's important that a child cannot walk into one of these little convenience stores, plop down a dollar and walk out with something that can get him shot on the spot without question," Deberry said.
It's more important that we teach kids and adults to be responsible with all their toys and guns. It's more important that we teach police, parents and kids to be better people not force stupid rules on them.
