Washington Terrace mayor calls ban on toy guns ridiculous

I live in Washington Terrace! I'm going to have to get an underground locker for my children's toys. Do I need to hide my surgical tubing too, since it can be turned into a water-weenie?

Please, oh please, government protect me from myself! I need a nanny-state!

Good point, "Please!", does the government have to create laws for EVERY single aspect of our lives and every little thing that might hurt us? It just seems like the further we get in history, the more babysitting laws we are getting too.

I think that air-soft guns can be dangerous (and annoying to clean up those flippin' pellets), but isn't that just a no-duh obvious thing?

Let's ban forks next cause I could poke my (or my neighbor's) eye out while eating.....
