Taking away the toy guns...
San Joaquin County may soon prohibit the sale of toy guns from ice cream trucks, and it's following on the heals of the city of Stockton, which is considering a similar change to its municipal code.No, they're not taking advantage of the kids. They are engaging in free enterprise, selling a product to people who want to buy it. Does it really surprise anyone that kids want to have toy guns? Never mind. I think I've figured out why gun bigots are so intend on eliminating toy guns from America. It boils down to something very simple: kids can't vote. These people have had their hats handed to them on the national level for many election cycles now; they are starting to understand that gun control doesn't sell to voters who own guns. But kids don't have a voice in the political process, and it's a lot easier to impose asinine regulations on someone else than it is to convince people who would be affected by those regulations to live by them. And they figure, if they can eliminate toy guns -- using whatever flimsy excuses the parents will believe -- then they can eliminate the gun culture that is their real enemy. If no one wants a toy gun, because it gets you in trouble at school, than no one will want a real gun, because it gets you in trouble with the police. Folks, I suggest we not try to find out if they're right. Teach your kids to shoot. Teach your grandkids to shoot. Teach your neighbor's kids to shoot -- and teach their parents, too, if necessary. And when you do it, tell them why you are doing it. |
