Elementary School Launches Toy Gun Buyback Program

[Down1]

Ridiculous.

The principal of an elementary school in the San Francisco Bay Area offered students a chance to trade in their toy guns for a book and a chance to win a bike as part of the school's first toy gun "buyback" program.

"Playing with toys guns, saying 'I'm going to shoot you,' desensitizes them," said Charles Hill of Strobridge Elementary School in Hayward, "so as they get older, it's easier for them to use a real gun."

Turn in a book and get a condom.

The only thing that can save this country at this point is economic collapse that requires men to be men again.

Bring on the doom.

How can you "buy back" something that was never yours in the first place? Talk about desensitizing them.

Anyone setting up shop down the street from the school to bribe at higher prices?

"Hey kid, I'll give you 10 frns for your GI Joe".

Better yet, trade your toy guns in for real gun training/safety lessons. That would get the school district in a dithers.

these are guns for war ,they want to breed kids to go to war for them.

now in the future they wont need them because the drones will take over and they wont need an army so buy back guns ,we dont need to send people to war by the time the latest batch of kids grow up.

This is the assumed programming of those who do not think. They assume into your mind that you were granted permission to own that gun from the government. Therefore we are buying it back.

It's desensitizing them for future confiscations of real firearms.
