Philly Area Nannies Have Case of the Vapors Over Toy Guns

Is that?


A TOY GUN?



Eeek!!!!  Squirt gun!!!

Okay, now that I'm done goofing on this pathetic display, let's get down to the actual story.  A local youth group activist and others working with him to enact a boycott of any store that sells icky, icky toy guns.  Stupid, but well within their rights.  Says one,

"This is very, very important," Mackey said. "Philadelphia's streets are a bloodbath."

 

Philly's streets are a bloodbath because your city government can't get your gangs under control, its so bad that those Philly-based gangs have taken root and are comfortable enough to start spreading and recruiting in other cities.  Philly police can't control them.  Beyond that, the school system is a total disaster, no matter how much money gets thrown at it. 

The economy sucks there because taxes are too high, regulations too much, and what the city offers isn't enough to entice people there despite it, businesses are leaving, and they aren't being replaced.  Worst of all, your city government, bureaucracies and government unions are corrupt as hell and crippling any attempts at making Philly a decent city.

The piece then goes on to a report by a local newscaster.  After a few blurbs from parents about how eeeevil toy guns were, they note Toys'R'Us don't carry anything remotely realistic, just a few Nerf type things, and give them the Official Nanny State Pat On the Head (ONSPOTH), for all the good doggies who lay down and roll over when their Nanny Overlords order them to. 

Norris spoke to NBC 10's Tim Furlong as she and her young son headed into a city Toys 'R' Us store -- a good move for parents who want to avoid toy guns that look like the real thing. Toys 'R' Us, along with stores like Target and Wal-Mart, sell Nerf and laser-tag-type guns, but none that look like replica machine guns or Glocks.

Toy Glocks?  I've never seen one, I've never seen anything that looks vaguely like a Glock or similar 9mm pistols.  And it looks like you didn't either, it wasn't on your news report. 

From their report, looks like everybody with the exception of evil, evil KB Toys gets an ONSPOTH for getting rid of their toy guns. 

Still, despite a September resolution from City Council asking stores to remove the guns from their shelves, some stores like KB Toys in the Franklin Mills Mall sell guns in all colors, shapes and sizes, including a realistic-looking machine gun and handgun purchased by Furlong.

 

Yeah, why won't you listen to our Nanny Overlords in City Council, KB Toys?  And look at that description, you'd think they were going to some black market arms dealer who had a big pile of AKs, PKMs and RPG-7s. 

These young people are brainwashed at such a young age with toy guns," Mackey said. "We must remove them.

Yeah, its the toy guns doing it.  Couldn't be the strong root gangs have in your city and the glorification of said gangs and their violent lifestyle in pop culture, could it?
