toys guns

I am not going to get into a philosophical discussion as to whether of not guns should be legal or not but I would like to come down clearly on the side of outlawing toy guns.

This week in Florida, a Jr High kid brings a gun to school. It was (or would have been) obvious that it was a toy gun but the kid took a magic marker and blacked out the red marks to make it look real. He was successful and he is now brain dead after a cop shot him. If course, the parents and family lawyer can't be far from the court room but who bought this kid a toy gun? Who allowed him to have this gun?

One day I will have a child and when the kid asks me to get him a toy gun, I am not even sure I will acknowledge the question as the stupidity of buying a kid a toy gun is mindboggling. Again, not talking about real guns and teaching the kid to handle them ... I am talking toys.

Cops have no choice. The cop probably wasn't sure it was real but the downside was his buddy cop getting killed. I do not fault him at all. Heck, that cop should sure the parent for the mental duress that this put him under.

I say allow abortion, drugs, firearms for convicted sex offenders ... but seriously, can any one put up a case for junior having a plastic 9MM?
