Ridiculous News Item of the Week:
NJ Toy-Gun Buy Back

0

(GunReports.com) — A New Jersey anti-violence group tried to buy up children’s toy guns to reduce Newark’s record setting summer shootings.

Newark-based group Stop Shootin’ Inc. held a toy gun exchange program this week. They asked children to bring in their toy guns, water pistols or cap guns and exchange them for a positive toy or a book.

Newark City Councilman Ras Baraka says more children and teenagers die each year from gunfire than from cancer, the flu, HIV/AIDS or other causes combined.

He did not comment on how many children died from being shot with toy guns.
