View Full Version : Guns for Tots MsOrange 06-07-2005, 11:16 PM is this for real? it was on the Daily Show (yes, a very reliable source!) and they have a website... is this for real? http://www.ny.lp.org/guns4tots.htm http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/news/WABC_020503_gunsftots.html TripperFan 06-08-2005, 09:25 AM Hard to say - anything's possible these days I guess! I'll bet it is for real - a little tongue in cheek to get their point across, but still real! :lol: Courtnee 06-08-2005, 01:01 PM They aren't handing out real guns. I agree with them. They are fighting a ban agianst toy guns. The parents should dicide what toy the child gets,not the government. MsOrange 06-08-2005, 03:51 PM I knew they weren't handing out real guns...that would be considered illegal... i was just wondering if anyone else had heard of this TripperFan 06-08-2005, 04:03 PM It's a first for me! I got hell from my sister-in-law for giving my nephew a "cowboy" kit for Christmas one year - hat, badge, toy gun and holster. Apparently she felt he was going to go out and terrorize the neighbourhood. Maybe take his teacher hostage? Maybe if she knew how to raise her kid properly and just explain that it's a toy there wouldn't be a problem?! :rolleyes: Mr. Television 06-08-2005, 04:13 PM It's a first for me!
