The Washington Post has decided that toy guns are to blame for violent criminals in society. In a recent screed, the Post declared that violence stems from toy guns. And the latest toy to draw the wrath of the gun-banners at the paper? The Nintendo Wii, which comes with a futuristic-looking "blaster."

The paper uses the release of this toy to bash various toy firearms that have been introduced over the decades. They go after everything from your childhood cap gun to your kid's Super Soaker.

Of course, the Post points out that criminals sometimes use toy guns in an attempt to fool their victims. But the answer is not to ban toy guns. The answer, as it usually is, is to go after these criminals.

It seems like the Post will look anywhere to try and find solutions to violent crime... even your child's toy box. The only place they seem afraid to mention is a jail cell, which is where the solution lies.

All I know is that my life was warped at the age of five, all the way back in 1954, when my brother and I wouldn't stay out of my dad's hair while he was building something. So he cut out a pair of pistols for us from a piece of pine board, and we ran around the yard pointing them at one another and yelling, "bang bang! I got you!" "No, I got you!"

It was all downhill from there. I went from cutout guns to rubber band guns and cap guns, and from there to BB guns. It didn't take me long to move on to the hard stuff...I had a .22 in my hands before my voice changed.

And look at me now: I ruthlessly kill beer cans, plastic water bottles, junk propane tanks, paper targets, you name it. If it doesn't have legs to run from me, it's as good as dead.

And I didn't stop with ruining my own life. No, I've passed my ruthless, depraved, killing ways on to the next generation: my Beagles. Warped from days, weeks and months of constant, unrelenting exposure to my bloodthirsty obsessions, they've begun running after rabbits, hoping to push one past me and see it die in a nightmarish, spattered meeting of blood and lead.

Can this cycle of bloody, twisted carnage and depravity linking generation to generation in chains of blood, brass and smoke ever be broken?

Yes. But it will take tough love from the politicians and bureaucrats who have nothing but our safety and well-being in their hearts. Please; write your Congresswoman. Beg her to scrap a demonic piece of paper written over two centuries ago, that gives us the perverted idea that owning guns is not only a right, but a virtue. Ask her to save us from ourselves, and take the guns out of our hands.

Oh, there'll be a price to pay; one cannot turn from the dark to the light without sacrifice. When we've given up our unclean obsession with weapons, we may lose our possessions, our homes, our families and our lives to those who haven't seen the light yet, and still cling to their guns. But if we die we will die happy, free at last from our unholy alliance with blued steel, brass and powder.

Gazillions of kids grew up in the 1950s with toy guns and a plethora of Westerns on TV. The good guys always used heat to put down the bad guys. Why did "gun violence" only become so common after we took prayer out of the schools and replaced it with liberalism?
