I wish I owned a store just so I could tell this punk to kiss my pimply white ass. Then I’d put up a big display of toy guns.

"I never bought water guns, play guns, cap guns or nothing," Norris said.

I guess he was too busy buying Barbie dolls.

Philadelphia must be a strange city . . . there are girls there with names like William and Tim.

"Mother Maureen Norris, of North Philadelphia, said she thinks the boycott is a great idea because she doesn't buy them and she doesn't want stores to sell them."

" Since I don't buy Tampons, I don't want stores to sell them."

That’s OK - I don’t buy my kids toy guns.

I buy them real guns, and I take them to the range and let them shoot them.

Including a dictionary apparently.

A friend’s son turned his sister’s Barbie into a gun. He bent the legs, held it by the torso and started shooting.

Not selling toy guns is not going to stop kids from playing with them.

I would like to see the council pass a resolution to recommend Eddie Eagle programs are in every Philly school.

I don’t have kids, but I like your philosophy on that.

Let's ban finger guns too, while we're at it.

I have two sons. If they didn’t have toy guns, they just used the thumb and index finger. Try boycotting that.

“I never bought water guns, play guns, cap guns or nothing,” Norris said.

...And therefore I decree that nobody else should be able to buy them because my fragile emotions should dictate the choices of others.
