I got a genuine Roy Rogers cap pistol and holster for Christmas in the first grade. Wore it to school for a week. Another kid had some sort of toy gun in his pocket, the teacher let us have a showdown in front of the class. Unfortunately, my RR pistol tended to hang up in the holster, so he outdrew me and I had to fall down dead. Utter humiliation.

“Utter humiliation.”

As it should be.

RR would not be happy.

As much as I admire the English of the first part of the 20th century, I think they have gone collectively silly and weinie-like lately. Sad, just sad.

Thanks for the reminder...

“They found that eleven of the men in the group were in fact of Middle Eastern
descent, that they ranged in age from 19 to 23, and that they were college students at the University of Alabama. The twelfth man was 27 and from
Florida. They had six weapons among them. All had the features of MP5
automatic rifles, but were actually plastic guns that shot plastic
pellets. Except for orange tips on the gun barrels, all had a very
realistic appearance, including pressure-activated laser sights,
flashlights, and realistic looking ammunition that was visible through the
transparent and removable magazines.

At Beslan they had real guns.
The terrorists did.
The children and teachers were unarmed.
Unarmed in what, when it happens here, will be described tearfully as a "safe gun free school zone".

“I don’t see anything funny about this news. Remember Beslan.”

Of course there isn’t anything funny about this, but you seem to be only one of (2?) posters who had the brains to realize the importance of this story.

Doubtful that any of the ninnies on this thread realize what a balaclava is, nor would they have the sense to wonder why it and ski masks were hidden...primary school in UK...the little ones...the very little ones.

Has anyone heard any more news about this?

Very sobering.

Being that afraid of inanimate objects is pathological. Hoplophobia is a real mental illness.

New York Man Charged with Possessing Explosive Materials

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — “A New York man was charged with transporting explosive materials after he was found with two improvised explosive devices and other items including a fake mustache, federal authorities said Wednesday.”

“Authorities said a search revealed a black duffel bag containing what appeared to be the components of a pipe bomb; another bag containing a fake mustache, makeup, and gum remover; a digital timer and a bag containing wires and caps.

An investigation revealed that Tang allegedly possessed two improvised explosive devices, two radio-controlled initiators that could be used to remotely activate an IED, and two firearm silencers.”

Our children are the focus of first line retaliation if we do anything drastic. There is no way we can protect them all over the nation - AND many of the school bus drivers are Moslems. Certainly in California where there is a preponderence of Afghans driving the buses.

I wonder what kills more people: Childhood obesity or toy guns?

I believe that replica guns are outlawed in the UK.
