Attorney General's Office encouraging kids to destroy toy guns

They're going to be destroying guns in Providence today -- toy guns, that is.

The Attorney General's Office is holding another "Toy Gun Bash" at one p-m.

Kids will get free toys in exchange for destroying their toy guns in a machine called the "Bash-O-Matic." And they'll also be able to challenge Attorney General Patrick Lynch in a three-point shooting contest.

The Bash-o-Matic was designed and built by students at the Rhode Island School of Design.

The Attorney General's Criminal Prosecution Unit organized the event along with the U-S Attorney's Office, the city of Providence and other departments and agencies.

My two boys were forbidden from having toy guns or pointing any shooting device toward another person in "play".

Both, however, have won awards in rifle marksmanship and archery.

I was similarly not allowed gun toys or "bang bang" playing. I am now in law enforcement and serve as a firearms instructor and armorer. One of my last jobs before going into policework? Archery instructor at a Catholic boys camp

Similar story with my kids. Alas, now my son is a Marine. Go figure.

Of course, in the leftist world view, Marine = bad! An American Imperialist tool! But a violent criminal with a gun = good (a "good" if "misunderstood" person who is merely redistributing wealth).

Of course, the liberals think that one day they will rule the world. They can't have country loving marines standing in the way, they need criminals that will do their dirty work without question so they can stay in power.

...It's hard to tell elected Democrat officials from kooks...

Not that hard. The elected dems are the crazy ones.
