Kind of funny that my generation grew up playing army (baseball bat was a bazooka) and we don't do drive bys; used guns in gang fights or settled anything with anything other than fists. The generations that grew up without guns kill each other over nothing; do drive bys and use murder as a way of life. There is no person on earth as fucked up as a progressive. Absolutely the dumbest, angriest most violent people on earth. Burn a store, you are protesting; get yourself killed by acting like the drug addled felonious thug you are makes you a dead hero, George Floyd, may you fucking burn in hell.
I was raised in a household where we were told from an early age that guns are never to be treated as toys. They are tools that must be respected.
I never had a nerf gun, cap gun or water gun. But I did get my first .22 rifle for my 8th birthday, my first 12 ga shotgun for my 12th birthday and my first .38 pistol for my 15th.
I always felt bad for the kids that only got toy guns.
I had lots of cap guns and water guns as a kid. Nerf only made squishy footballs back then. First gun I ever fired was on high school rifle team, a .22 Winchester bolt action. My parents had nothing against guns, but they didn't own any. Competitive shooting as a high school sport was eliminated a long time ago where I'm from (a small city in NJ). This Santa article didn't shock me at all because I wouldn't be surprised if it's illegal for Santa to deliver Nerf guns in NJ.
After I got kicked out of college, my mother enrolled me in a local commuter college and forced me to join ROTC. So the second gun I ever fired was an M-16-A1. I never fired a handgun until I became an Infantry company commander and had to qualify with a Colt 1911 in order to carry a sidearm.
These days, as a civilian, I'm more of a handgun guy. I only have a few rifles and shotguns, but a bunch of handguns. I really enjoy shooting rifles and I love skeet shooting, but here in NJ you get some pretty evil looks from people and I live in a condo complex where everybody sees you putting stuff in your car. With handguns I can just throw my range bag over my shoulder like I'm going to the gym. That's how bad it is here.

last commentI saw that yesterday. Just like the modern day Red Ryder story... that Santa is an ASSHOLE!

Not to argue - but that Santa was a douchebag!

Where is MackTruck? He should dump a load of shit on that Santa’s lap!
