Toy guns are the next big thing under attack by the pleasure police. It would seem that since some people cannot get a hold of real guns, they are committing crimes with toy guns, BB guns, pellet guns and the like.

If anything, this should be proof that guns don't cause crime. Crimes are committed by people, whether it be with a real gun, fake gun, knife, screw driver, pocket comb, or crow bar. You can make everyone walk around wearing nothing but mittens, and there will still be violent crime.

However, as the Christian Science Monitor reports, that doesn't stop some whiney fascist toy gun grabbers from New York from trying:

Christopher Industrious of Manhattan, who was shopping in Times Square, would support the new ban [on toy guns]. "Kids are imitating whatever they see in the movies and on TV," he says, motioning to his 3-year-old son. He says that one time when disciplined, his son "pointed his water gun at me."

Leave it to a liberal New Yorker to cower in fear from a 3 year old with a water pistol.

"Like toy cigarettes, they're promoting something violent," adds Donna Csolak of Princeton, N.J.

Since when did toy cigarettes promote violence? Still, even Donna admits that parents should start parenting, and the government shouldn't restrict people's freedom of choice with restrictive ineffective legislation. The CS Monitor also notes that "New York City's current law, signed in 1998, prohibits the sale of toy guns unless they are brightly colored or transparent or have a prominent trademark. But some City Council members think the law is ineffective: Kids can make toy guns look real simply by spray-painting a gun black, or hiding the toy trademark with tape."

So, should we ban spray paint and tape? After all, any idiot can paint a stick black and make it look like a gun. These morons that think restrictive laws will solve the problem make me want to cry sometimes. They would deny everyone on the planet a water gun, rather than push for more parental involvement. They also insist that inanimate objects cause people to do things they ordinarily wouldn't. I sometimes wonder if they are so weak minded themselves as to be so easily corrupted. Perhaps that explains why they think that normal people would be so easily turned to the dark side.
