Authorities in Hempstead, Long Island held a toy gun buyback this month for local school children.

Fifty little ones were invited to participate in the event during which they were instructed to exchange their colorful plastic toys for other colorful plastic toys that just happened to not be shaped like a gun.

Children who didn’t have toy guns to bring to the party were actually given water pistols and nerf blasters by organizers so they could play the turn ’em in game.

“Saying no to guns is important – even toy guns,” said Hempstead Village Mayor Don Ryan as reported by WABC.

“The purpose is to offer safe alternative to toy guns. We don’t want the kids playing with guns. Guns are dangerous,” added Hempstead Village Trustee LaMont Johnson.

Though it doesn’t need to be said toy guns are not guns, they’re toys! They’re meant to be played with! Unlike real guns, they are by their very nature harmless! A “safe alternative” to a toy gun is a toy gun because it’s just a toy!

Former NYPD officer Sean Acosta sponsored the event. Acosta works with the New York Toy Gun Exchange Program.

“I want to make sure when you grow up nothing happens to you,” Acosta told the children in attendance.

Right, because taking away toys from children makes them safer when they become adults. Makes no sense.
 
Stay tuned New Yorkistan will begin buying spoons back next claiming and telling children they make you fat.

Indoctrinating little children - absolutely shameful.

So in essence what he is saying is if you don’t listen to me something or bad things will happen to you. You just can’t make this stuff up. And tax payer dollars are paying for this..MURICA.

What next, toy trains? Trains can be dangerous.

What???? Let me get this straight, a retired cop, school officials, the mayor, presumably 50-100 parents, and the news ALL thought that staging a gun buyback with TOYS was a good idea.

I don’t know whether I should be scared, concerned, or just glad I no longer live in the NE.

Will the town consider a swimming pool 'buyback'?

  • Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, accounting for 7% of all injury-related deaths.
  • There are an estimated 360 000 annual drowning deaths worldwide.
  • Global estimates may significantly underestimate the actual public health problem related to drowning.
  • Children, males and individuals with increased access to water are most at risk of drowning.
 
As for me and mine I have a AR15 for each grandchild along with a pistol. My grandsons will get my reloading and casting gear.

Some are wolves, some are sheep, and some are sheep dogs. When this thing goes belly up, politicians need to be rounded up.

Being concerned about the environment I wonder if we could give away guns in exchange for older, high-pollution cars?

Or how about a recycling business, turn in 1,500 lbs of AL cans and get a free revolver and an hour of training?
 
I wish this happened around here every so often. I could then sell off or trade the ones my kinds break when they butt each other when they run out of imaginary ammo. And replace them with new ones.
 
Actually pretty smart on their part. Early indoctrination leads to later behavior. If only they had/could figure out that they can also teach other things this way like honesty, fairness, morality, etc. :rolleyes:

I'm really not sure why you posted ME saying all those things in post #14? I just posted the article because I thought it was so ridiculous. You have it looking like those stupid quotes were coming from me.:confused: Maybe you might want to take a minute and read the article and it will tell you who said the items you posted ME saying.

They're all lined up like little pawns, which is basically what they are. I don't even like kids and find that shameful.

The scary part isn't the "guns are bad, m'kay" message, it's the "here, let the .gov take something from you and we'll give you something in return". When they grow up they'll be ready to trade their rights and freedoms for whatever shiny thing they're offered because that's how it's always worked.

Why not, it’s what most of their parents do.
