U.S. Representative Edolphus "Ed" Towns (D-NY, Brooklyn, Congressional District 10) has introduced legislation to "ban toys which in size, shape or overall appearance resemble real handguns." This is the same Ed Towns who took a stand that the Texas penal system shouldn't execute that poor black rapist and murderer, Gary Graham, who was convicted of killing a citizen in cold blood but lingered in the appeal process for 18 years. (Then Texas Governor Bush denied poor Mr. Graham's pardon and they put him to sleep -- 18 years too late.)

Now, before everyone gets their feathers ruffled up, it may benefit us all. We should support this measure if it is concurrent with a legislatively mandated a toy gun buyback. Now, go to your basement/garage workshop and churn out a couple thousand of wood guns. Place it in a U-Haul truck (preferably 18 wheeler size) and sell it to the gubmint @ $5 a pop. The more you make, the more you earn!

Here's a math problem for you: how many toy guns can you make from a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood?

For advanced students: how many paper mache toy guns can you make out of Sunday's newspaper?
 
HI! 4V50Gary, Thats a great idea! I can get chicken fingers for $3.99 a pound. Lotsa "guns" there not to mention a few hours at the scroll saw with some scrap wood. I have been waiting for a real gun buyback in my area as I have a copy of TM31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook and it clearly shows how to make dangerous firearms from building site scrap. After all it only has to pop a primer to be a firearm(see Bob Stewart case.) I figure if they offer $50 each I can make more that $300 an hour for my efforts, and for that kind of money I can work lots of hours.:D
 
Although all in fun, the suggestions to make toy guns for sale to the govenment makes my wallet ache. Those would be OUR tax dollars paid out. I'd rather not recycle my money through a buy-back program just to buy what I wanted in the first place!

HI! Yea you are right it would be a pain in the wallet and I prolly wouldn't do it, but when someone uses the tactic of returning lots of guns of little or no value it usually ends the practice in that city. I recall someplace they offered $100 for rifles to be turned in and a guy went to a Big5 and bought 10 or 12 mosin-nagants on sale for $50 each and turned them in. The buybacks stopped in that city after that. Now if in my above scenario I took my windfall of 8 to 10 thousand dollars(I told you I would work lots of hours:)) and donated that to a pro gun cause...(or bought myself a Barrett M82A1..um...no no I would donate it..yea thats right):D
