That's why Toy guys are now Orange on the end so the cops know they are toys....Of course, I painted the end of my Glock orange just to mess with the bad guys....make them think they got a chance against a guy with a "Toy Gun".....

Send a few boat loads of guns over to the Middle East, put them in a Happy Meal BAG and let them go nuts!
LOL OIL FOR BULLETS! It would be a beautiful thing! |

Of course toy guns should be allowed. So should candy cigarettes |

Necro thread post!
I played with toy guns , smoked cigaretts and rode carnival rides. Yet I am still here.
I was taught real guns were not play toys and to follow the four rules of firearms.
RULE I: ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
RULE II: NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY
RULE III: KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
RULE IV: BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET

Lets see now; No toy guns, no candy cigarettes, no carnival rides. Lets add to the list, no soda, leads to drinking, no toy cars, might lead to a fatal accident same for toy motorcycles. Time for parents to not only set an example of accepting responsibility but teach it to their kids. Time kids were taught stupid decisions now can easily affect the rest of their life. |
