"Stop Selling BB Guns to Kids!"

[Yellowfin]

Another example of people who want others to conform to their way of thinking because they know whats best for us and our children.

A liberal view of tolerance is that we should listen, understand, and comply.

They only keep it up because some idiots let them. I don't know why so many people think these bozos are experts or anyone that should be listened to rather than telling them to go away.

It's probably one of these plastic pellet guns that were available at any corner store when I was a kid in the early '70s. There was another cool toy pistol that shot multi-color discs. They can't hurt anybody unless you swallowed a disc or a pellet and choked on it.

exatly. they sold at 7-11 for 99 cents, lasted about 3 days, and were nothing but fun the entire time.

had an effective range of about 7 feet....with no wind.

The whole thing is bs. Is the store doing something illegal? Most likely. But so are the kids if they are buying these things. But where are the parents? Shouldn't they be paying attention to what their kids are doing, where they are going and what they are buying? I remember having to ask my dad to buy me a bb gun or pellet rifle because I wasn't old enough, but earned enough money to buy it.

I guess it is illegal in Philly.

Really water guns are illegal in Philly since 1956, 68 years ago. Same time the Whitney Wolverine came out.

I used to buy flash paper in the city all the time, Jr. Magician/Pyro I was fun at parties. If I didn't burn the house down.

Actually fellas, Those are Airsoft guns. Pellet guns shoot metal pellets that are usually in a conical shape, BB guns shoot small metel balls, and an Airsoft guns shoot small plastic balls only.

Anybody remember the Lark M19A Annihilator?

It was a full auto BB gun powered by a 1lb can of freon.

I wish I had one of those today. It would be enough to give a libtard a brain aneurism.





This was as close as I ever got to having a BB machine gun.

I'm thinking to myself, "well, if they are selling BBguns to minors, then they are breaking the law and I have no problem with this." And the I watched the video and saw that they are talking about GODDAMED TOYS!

For Pete's sake peoples! If you don't want your kid playing with a toy, you tell them not to. If they do anyway, you smash the toy in front of them and punish them for lying/being disrespectful/disobeying their parents. It's your frigging job as a parent.

The saddest damn part about this is that it appears that, as long as those toys are spring actuated, they are illegal in Philly since they do propel a plastic pellet.

Awww, man! I used to love my shooting gallery! That thing was awesome! Those ducks used to fall before they even got fully exposed coming around the top. The thing was louder than hell, though. That's probably why it stopped working mysteriously.

Again, why are we not attacking their root sources to starve out their numbers as they surely are attacking ours?

What exactly are the "root sources" of the gun ban movement, so we know what to attack.
