Why am I a hypocrite for believing parents should keep kids from carrying "real looking" pellet and toy guns out of the backyard into the real world?Another hypocrite.
Yes, idiot parents. Toy guns should never leave the backyard.First, read the goddam topic. It was NOT a toy. It was a pellet gun. And it was deliberately designed to look like a .45. It was a WEAPON.You are lying if you were to say, if it was my child holding a toy pistol and he was murdered by the police I would turn the other cheek
Second, I let my kids play with toy guns outside all the time, but I have NEVER allowed them to play with an actual weapon deliberately manufactured to look indistinguishable from a .45.
And gee, what do you know, no one has ever called 9-1-1 while they were playing, and they've never been shot by any cops! And I I ever caught them pointing their toy guns at anyone other than their playmates, that would be the last time they owned that toy and they know it.
