“Student access to these weapons must be limited by reducing availability from mobile ice cream vendors,” Braun said.

this has got to be some member of the gun culture having a dig at the assault weapons being sold from ice cream trucks hysteria following the sunset of the AWB.
 
They are including airsoft guns. Airsofts can cause serious eye injury and so they could be called weapons.
 
“I would hope some legislation could be enacted that would make it possible for ice cream vendors only to sell ice cream,”

But what if I want a popsicle?

MY 5th grade class made rubberband muskets:what: when we studied the revolutionary war. they shot real rubberbands.:neener:

No, i'm not old. Probably younger than majority here.
 
Wait...

Airsoft guns are not weapons any more than ballpoint pens or staplers are weapons.

But the word "weapon" has a definition, and it's not "anything that can cause injury if misused by an idiot."

They aren't "Airsoft" guns, as in the relatively expensive, relatively well-made things that "old kids" like to chase each other around with... they're cheap pieces of crap that use a spring to anemically toss a little plastic BB along a parabolic ballistic trajectory.

And no, I do not believe that water guns or "airsoft" guns belong in schools. I am saying that the government has no business passing laws and getting worked up into hysterical fits over toys sold by ice cream vendors. If the kids take toy guns to school, take 'em aaway and give the brat detention. If the parents don't want their kids buying toy guns, or anything else, from ice cream vendors, then the parents need to do something about that.

We've entered an era where the slightest perceived threat to our "safety" is over-responded to with nearly-military assaults (the "lockdowns" of schools because "somebody saw a gun" :uhoh: ), felony prosecutions (the couple from the plane the other day), and lengthy prison sentences.
 
God it must suck to be a kid nowadays.

They spend all that time on the cellphone or myspace when they could be out chasing after each other with water pistols like I did when I was a kid. Or chasing after ice cream trucks for that matter.:(
 
But waterguns can absolutely DESTROY a good silk tie, shirt or dress! Why, think of the devastation to the California fashion scene they could wreak! :D

You think that's bad? Imagine being in the generation right before this one's kids.

You look back and do a constant Whiskey Tango Foxtrot at just about every thing they do; I often find myself looking at your average 13 year old and asking myself "How did this happen in less then a decade?"

It's bad. Real bad.
 
A super-soaker loaded with medical grade H202 (hydrogen peroxide) would be pretty nasty to the eyes...
(if it doesn't fall apart due to corrosion by the H202)

Airsoft?

Point an airsoft at me, and I won't get scared.
You know.... normal guns aren't 6 mm caliber, nor do they have a barrel that changes diameter inside.

Some wording on the above link might offend a few, another picture may illustrate the point better.

I do like the scene in "Snatch" where the guys have the replica guns and pull them on the dude who responds "And the fact that you've got 'REPLICA' written down the side of your gun, and the fact that I've got 'Desert Eagle .50' written on the side of mine should precipitate your..."

I once got shot in the eye at three feet with one of those plastic pellet guns, it looked just like that old 22 pistol that was really futuristic and cast in two halves.

anyway it hurt alot but I was fine.

the main point is to vilify firearms. If kids don't play with fake guns as kids they won't play with real ones as adults hopefully.

I have a much younger cousin and I've tried my best to teach him about firearms and gun safety, I started with a single shot air rifle worked him up to my drozd bb machinegun and when he comes to visit me in AZ hopefully we'll get to shoot some real ones.

It's up to all of us to call things like this what they are, act responsibly and let it be known to others around us what the 2nd amendment is for.
 
The guy has an excuse.. he is Hungarian. Reportedly one of the best languages for cursing...
it allows flexibly stringing tens of swear words into a continuous stream of profanity.
