Urban Gun Buyback Targets Nerf Guns

Michael Filozof

From the "They can't really be this stupid - can they?" category, an urban anti-violence group in Buffalo, NY conducted a gun "buyback" - targeting Nerf guns. Yes, Nerf guns - the spring-loaded children's toys that fire harmless, spongy little projectiles.


Seems that these simpletons believe that "a toy gun today" invariably leads to a "real gun tomorrow."

One parent said that if the kids have Nerf guns, "Then there's no fear holding the real gun when they get older. We want to put that fear back into our children."


Fear? How about putting some responsibility and discipline into your children instead, so they can responsibly handle guns to defend their freedom when they get older?


Our freedom was bequeathed to us by our Founders, who fought an armed revolution against the British to secure it.  James Madison, who wrote in Federalist #46 that Americans have "the advantage of being armed, which [they] possess over the people of almost every other nation" must be rolling in his grave.

I remember reading a study years back that said boys that play games like "cowboys and indains"/"war"/ "army"  had more abiltly to control thier aggression as a teen/ young adult.

Now it might have been BS or my memory can be fading in my old age and lack of sleep, but when you think about it, teaching boys a "good" way to express aggresion can't be a bad thing.  Hell if anything it would help thier leadership/working as a team abiltys.  Which is never a bad thing.

I blame the feminist movement. Don't get me wrong, I am all for gender equality. However there have been some unintended consequences. One of the biggest is the feminizing of men. As a man, in this day and age, if you stand up for your beliefs, and refuse to be subservient to a woman, then you are labeled a caveman. John Wayne, and George Patton could never rise to be examples of "REAL" men these days. Which is a big part of the reason we are in the fix we are in. Men are afraid to stand up. Because someone might call you insensitive.

The want to put the fear in???

Let me tell you something folks, I live in fear of our current President, his ideology, his handlers and his supporters.  Fear is nothing to be proud of or to wish to instill in your fellow countrymen!

Ever notice that the decline of quality in politicians started about the same time women got the vote ?
How many homely statesmen have we had since then ?
How many "charming" socialists and idiots ?

Isn't it amazing though that they elected not once but twice a man very fond of getting what they quit giving on their wedding night  ;)

It said it all when the National Organization of Women came out in support of a serial sex offender.
If Clinton had been a Republican they would have nailed his nuts to a tree, high up and still attached.
