Today, Anti-Gunners are Triggered & Traumatized by: Nerf Guns

The life of an anti-gun activist: Constantly triggered, traumatized, and thin-skinned.
You know, if it weren’t for the fact that they’re doing their level best to disarm me and other law-abiding American citizens, I’d feel rather sorry for anti-gun activists. Can you imagine being so fragile that the thought of a child playing with a Nerf foam toy would send you into a spiral of terror and confusion? If you’re like me, any incipient sympathy pangs will dissolve into a belly laugh as soon as you start reading the Empire State Consumer Project’s letter to Hasbro about their coolest new toy: the Nerf Ultra 1. Hold onto your sides, folks:
“As we watch holiday toy commercials, we see the Nerf Ultra One and other extreme Nerf machine guns for children and are reminded of mass shootings that have devastated American children and families for decades now. In these times, the TV ad for this product plays like a Saturday Night Live parody, except that it is not at all funny,” said the Dec. 3 letter.
Yes, that’s right: The anti-gunners are triggered by the thought of kids playing with a toy that, for decades, has been the golden standard of safe, harmless fun. It’s true that the toy is a little bit like a machine gun in that it is capable of firing multiple projectiles with a single trigger pull…but so is Harvey Weinstein when he sees an indoor ficus plant and I don’t see any querulous letters from the Empire State Consumer Project about him.
Hang on, I think it’s time for another howlingly hilarious excerpt:
“How do these weapon products use your business as a force for good? Who would this child be shooting with his cache of assault weapons?”
As a former child, allow me to clear up the confusion for Carol Chittenden and Judy Braiman, authors of the letter: This child will be shooting his friends, his siblings, maybe his parents, and probably the grandma who gave him the toy. And each and every one of them will laugh (and perhaps ask him to clean up the foam darts before dinner, dear). This isn’t one of those cases in which reasonable people can disagree—we’re not talking about a toy gun that could possibly be mistaken for a real one. This toy is safer than the Tonka truck I brained my little brother with when I was 6. Porcelain dolls are more menacing than a Nerf gun.
Okay, one more knee-slapper from Carol and Judy before we call it a day:
If your research shows that children are craving toy assault weapons, you have missed the mark.
Have…have Carol and Judy ever met a child? Children love ballistic toys, and here’s what all kids know: If you don’t have a ballistic toy to play with, you can simply find dirt clods to huck at your best buddies to let them know how much you love them. Sometimes dirt clods have rocks and stuff in them, and you might end up with a nice forehead scar (like I did) or a minor concussion (like one of my friends did), but hey—at least you didn’t use a brightly colored plastic toy to do it!

The Deep State is to blame for the public’s nescience, as they have programmed the weak to do their bidding.
Focus should be on these Programmers.
I know we get a laugh out of it, but laughing does no Good for the cause, or as a resistance.
At the very least, if you know any “snowflakes”, take them out for a shooting experience.
(A very careful, instructive, and positive one).
If it wasn’t for the fact that these are real people writing real letters, this story would be all kinds of hilarious. However since this IS today’s reality, I cringe at the gullibility of the anti-gun crowd! I firmly believe the Shadow Government is running a subliminal programming scheme through social media (and possibly mainstream media as well) to subvert the Second Amendment guarantee of freedom to bear arms!
*Certainly.*
Snowflakes have the right to be “triggered” by whatever they wish. Just leave me alone, or you won’t believe what happens next. The founders gave warning. “Don’t do such things, or Americans will shoot you.”
They want you disarmed because they plan to do something, for which you would shoot them.
Exactly
These people are so far out of control anyone that cares what they want better put a rope on them before they blow away. Whats next water guns?????
Sorry Doc, they have already gone after water guns! If I can ever find the article about them again, I will be happy to forward it to GGD for further ridicule!
Sure, ban nerf guns. Wouldn’t want any of our little lib kids getting any violent ideas while attending a nice peaceful antifa rally. On the other hand, maybe someone should give one to Greta Thunburg. Thornbug? Whatever. She just seems really angry, and might benefit from some good old fashioned fun. You know, like kids are supposed to have.
Careful…it can put an eye out and nurture a deranged killer….I read the nerf bullets are made from recycled Democratic pamphlets….
Can’t be from Dem pamphlets, Crap won’t hold up under stressful conditions!
The snowflakes want a world full of rainbows- lollipops and ice cream. Some Humans are to greedy- to needy and to evil to care about rainbows – lollipops- and ice cream. The concept will never work. So buy your kids BB-guns – pop guns and wrist rockets too.
Don’t forget the cap gun set; how would we boomers have played cowboys & Indians, war, or cops & robbers without those??? Girls too. Nerf is a “trigger”? Seriously? We need to reopen asylums & expand the padded cell units tremendously, FAST, it seems! This is a mental health CRISIS! Nerf used to be DESIGNED for the toddler to preschool set, so they could keep up with the big brothers and sisters at home. If these snowflakes are too fragile for that, they’re unsafe anywhere in the real world, and it happens to be the only 1 we’ve got. Life is NOT “safe” , or hazard-free, nor can it be made so, just because some want that.
Granted I’m a bit out of touch with the toy market, but I still remember my 6y/o brother rewiring his “Big E” 4 ft long aircraft carrier so the deck planes lit up, wing tip lights blinked, and the “island” fully lit as we!! ( It didn’t come that way, although it was 1 of the most popular toys that yr for boys of grade school age.). Kids like action toys. They’re also fascinated by heavy (road & construction) equipment, fire trucks, planes, and trains. It’s adults who freak out about such things.
You people just don’t get the point.
One day these kids are out shooting imaginaryducks on a pond, the next day, it’s killing cattle with assault Nerfs (with the thing that goes up!). Once these “kids” get a taste of Nerfed cattle blood, defenseless humans will be next Is this what you want for your “kids”?
STOP THE INSANITY NOW, BEFORE CHRISTMAS! It’s in your parenting contract under “Christmas and the insanity Clause”.
Nerf a cow, she might look at you quizzically; hit a bull and you’re apt to get a very different reaction, but most farm kids know that pretty early in life.
Oh for sh**’s sake. This reminds me of the Simpson’s episode I just saw where Marge has Itchy and Scratchy cartoons cancelled. You know the one, it’s an early episode. Funny.
Somebody on one of the local radio stations called all this “protection” the pussification of America. I believe they might be on to something all right.
Don’t you just wish the “Snottier-Than-Thou” Liberals would simply mind their own business for awhile? I mean, really, who gives a hot, steaming pile of Buffalo Chips what they think, anyway? Maybe these “Editors” need to be Impeached for the Crime of Being Liberal Progressive Socialist A-Holes?
These pansy azz progressives want nothing more than a vanilla world.
Let kids play, get dirty and have fun. Scrapes and bruises will heal.
Surprised these two authors don’t hire help to wipe their arses.
They don’t wipe they heard from another liberal friend that toilet paper can give you paper cuts!!!
My local news station did a special report on dangerous toys you should NOT give as Christmas presents.
#1 on the list? Nerf Ultra 1
Are they selling Nerf 80% lowers?
Without the next generation, gun rights will go away, and they know it, so they just keep chipping away at the kids. Hard core gun owners will train their kids and grandkids, but what about the hipster with a pistol he hasn’t handled in five or ten years? The part time gun owner’s kids are the perfect foil for this BS, and God forbid that the poor fool married a Hillary hen.
Unfortunately, this is part of an attempt to destroy our alpha male history. They want all of our children to grow up being the weenies that the left are. They want to destroy all pro male behavior. It has become a constant attack on our entire way of life. They want to remove our history as well.
I recently read an article where some city has outlawed snowball fights. In this place there is no aggressive or competitive actions allowed. What kind of society are they trying to make?
If they don’t like toy guns, then they should make Hollywood stop making any kind of movie that glorifies a hero saving the day by using guns to eliminate threats. Remember the tv series, “McGyver?” The hero in the movie never used a gun to kill his enemy. Just remove all gun themes from movies. Better yet remove all weapons from movies. Remove all killing from movies. Remove all hate speech too. Just reduce all movies to a quiet walk in the park where there is no harming of animals or grass or trees and there is no strife in life because the ‘Big Brother’, GOVERNMENT will take care of us all.
But all of those poor “NERFS” are in danger of being shot, they must be saved heh-heh. Well they could make it a muzzle loader to make people happy!
Nerf guns are not the problem here. If anything, they help kids blow off some aggression in a safe way. If these ladies want to really help, they should go after movies that highlight shooting, and video games like “call of duty”.
A church that I attended in the past had a Nerf Battle Night. We cleared all the chairs out of the sanctuary and put up cardboard box barricades. Adults all the way down to preschoolers picked side and did battle! A great time was had by all!
I am going to to get Nerf guns for all of my grandkids
My granddaughter is only 10 months old but, dang- where can see the commercial that Hasbro has thrust upon unsuspecting citizens and the odd illegal everywhere?
Even my uber-liberal, Hillary-supporting sister allowed her kid to have a Nerf gun. I know. I bought it for him. These people take crazy to new heights.
This is too funny to even call ridiculous. Wish I had nerf guns when I was a kid. I’d have a couple less scars also.
I had a Pom-Pom gun growing up. A battery operated full auto alternating barrel weapon for ages 4-12. It was a replica of a military battery. It made a concussion sound and lights flashed out of each of the barrels when it fired, until the Evereadys went dead.
And I have not killed anybody yet.
Build MORE OF THEM!
Played with Nerfs all thru childhood. Heck, even as an adult a few times. Good parenting and solid core values ensured that is all it ever was…fun play.
These are the same morons that want Trump impeached, buy their meat at the local market so they don’t harm any animals, and will destroy the country! God help us all!
