The "Dallas Morning News" has been running stories about a proposed ban on toy and replica guns. It is being pushed by black activists and by a city councilman named Mitchell Rasansky.
The ones quoted seem to think that gun laws should be modeled on New York City's.
Today, liberal columnist Jacquielynn (sp?) Floyd let the other shoe drop. She not only wants toy guns banned; she wants REAL ones to go next.
I think a lot of this is due to certain liberal socialists hating white culture and seeing guns as being instruments of crime in black and Latino neighborhoods, and otherwise being liked only by white conservatives. Part of the gun war is a war on white Christian culture and its traditional values. It will get worse, as fewer whites retain political power in Dallas.
Until now, the escapades at City Hall, which have embarrassed many Dallasites, were mostly just action at the zoo. This, however, drives a spike into individual liberties. Taking the toy guns that many of us cherish as nostalgic momentos of our youth and the recreational Air Soft guns is oppression by the government, so that their social elements won't have to fear their undisclipined kids being shot for pointing a realistic toy gun at a cop. It is also designed, I'm sure, to advance the general cause of liberal socialism. I might add that the problem has been mainly due to sale of toy and replica guns in black neighborhoods, sometimes from ice cream trucks! What, apart from greed, were these vendors thinking!!?
If you live in or near Dallas, PLEASE contact the "News", the city council, and Mayor Laura Miller, who attended New York Mayor Bloomberg's antigun conference earlier this year, and DEMAND a stop to this proposed toy gun ban. If passed, it will injure freedom enough on its own, and will ease the path to more control of REAL guns! That, I fear, is the main goal of these people.
Fortunately, Miller has said that she will not seek reelection, but we have no decent politicians waiting in the wings. The outlook is dismal.
