Elementary School Beginning Toy Gun Turn-In Program

You're getting awfully worked up over something that has nothing to do with you. Whatever happened to states' rights and all that. If a CA school wants to have a gun exchange program, let them do it. Not everybody has to feel about guns the way you do.

Hey, if you can't handle reading the opinions of others about the topic, maybe you should get out of the kitchen.

Yeah I don't see what the big deal is either. The way I feel is if a parent doesn't want their kid to have or play with a toy gun that kid is probably not going to own one anyway to trade in. And if they do play with toy guns and their parents are okay with it they are not going to trade them in. I mean what kind of parent is against guns but lets their kids play with a toy one? It doesn't make sense.

To each their own I guess and if a parent wants to trade in a toy gun that they own but dont want their child to play with for a book who cares?
 
Do they still have rules against bringing real guns to schools?
 
Cup cake packages always reminded me of women's breasts so I became a sex maniac at age 6 but changed sexual orientation after I ate a Twinkie. Oh God help our little ones, feed them soup.

I would remove my children from such a school. I have never said that before, but that's exactly what I would do. These school administrators are full of ****. Can't pointie finger a gun, can't eat a freakin' Poptart in the shape of a gun. These people are shameless; and the only way to show children what's right is to act against them.

And we'd better get busy.

Tell us more about how you think children should pretend to kill each other.

K!!!! You be the cowboy. I'll be the Indian. We'll play in the park amongst the trees. I'll stalk you . . . then you stalk me . . . and I'll use my pointy finger to kew you. (I'm one of the Indians who stole guns.) We'll run and yelp and call each other out and laugh and fall down and get up and run some more. My shots will be accompanied by a KEW-KEW sound. You can make whatever sound you want. When we get tired, we'll quit and lay in the shade awhile.
 
This is by far the most monumentally stupid activity I have ever witnessed. Good God Almighty what idiots!!!! You can pry my plastic Lightsaber from my cold dead hands, along with my Teanage Mutant Nija Turtle T-shirt!

Don't forget the part where we dispute who killed who.

My parents never dreamed of having a gun in the home, but we had water guns, nerf guns, and so on. The most that could happen is we annoy our siblings.

Yeah I guess I wasn't really thinking of those kind of toy guns, I was thinking more like realistic guns as toys, I guess because I don't consider those kind of toys as "guns" but technically they are. So yeah it is pretty foolish to trade those in. My mistake :)

Technically they are toys. You can make just about any toy a gun when you are playing make believe.

Yes. Children don't know what's best for them, that's why we're supposed to be the parents.
