Democrat Councilman Gets Case of the Vapors Over Squirt Gun Handout

The Albany Public Library handed out the toys as a reward for reading several books, as part of a summer reading program.  Sounds good, right?  Wrong, if you're a hyperventilating leftist like Councilman James Sano.  Says Sano,

"They must have been out of rubber knives and candy cigarettes that day," Sano said as he waved the toy gun during the council's caucus last week. "They couldn't give out books or bookmarks?"

Its easy to laugh about this, we all know that squirtguns are just a gateway weapon into bigger, more insidious weapons, it starts with squirt guns, then Super Soakers, they get hooked on it, and are soon buying Red Ryder BB guns, and after that they're collecting real guns and voting Republican!!! 


Water Pistols are the match, SuperSoakers are the fuse, Red Ryders are the Bomb.

Anyway, lets see how he found out about this insidious neocon plot that our hero James Sano uncovered,

Sano said he took the water pistol from a 9-year-old boy while working as a lifeguard, and the child told him where he had received it.

"I was surprised and disappointed that this was a prize that was given away," he said. "We shouldn't send mixed messages to kids that we give a replica of a firearm."

Thank God we have patriotic leftists like Sano to act as our conscience and free us from the burden of private ownership of stuff he doesn't like.  Oh, and remember kids, if you're a liberal Democrat, you get to steal other people's stuff with impunity, just say its for the Common Good, and you'll be all set.

Found in another raid on an illicit Squirt Gun Handout: Note the corporate logo, pushing guns and corporations on our kids...sick bastards.

The rest of the article justifies Sano's ridicolous Nanny State behavior by noting two teens killed this year, and finishes off with a librarian profusely apologizing and groveling to keep their job, at least that's how I read it.  They think the squirt guns were part of a detective theme package they gave out.

The article also states that Albany recently assembled a Gun Violence Task Force...which I'm sure won't engage in dishonest demagoguery or encourage undermining constitutional rights with clumsy, ineffective legislation.  Of course, this fact and the two shootings are completely unrelated, but by God the paper is gonna try to tie them together.
