Should Walmart quit selling Nerf guns, glue guns, hair dryers and anything else that resembles a gun in any way?

There's nothing wrong with glue guns. I NEED my glue gun for making crafts, it saves me a lot of trouble, even if I do burn myself on the hot glue sometimes.

Of course, the Murricans will ban harmless or benign things that resemble guns before they ever make gun control stronger. Maybe they'll even ban bananas, carrots and cucumbers since kids will pretend those are guns. I saw it once on TV when a mother wouldn't let her sons play with toy weapons.

No.

Should laws be enacted to restrict the use of the index finger?

:roll:

There are people who say that things that resemble guns will cause people to go out and shoot people with the real thing.

Those people also said that playing Duck Hunt on the NES with the zapper gun would make people go out and shoot people with the real thing.

I never heard anyone ever say that. In what Universe are you hearing folks say this?

Canada and Japan have as many glue guns per capita as we do. But have virtually no gun deaths.

True & other causes of gun violence are getting completely ignored & rapidly getting worse like poverty, lack of quality healthcare especially mental, bullying, & hatred amungst political & buisness type leaders. If WalMart really cared about stopping gun violence they would pay their employees a living wage, make their prices cheaper for customers, & quit donating money to buy favor with politicans who hate on & bully others.

No. I like glue guns. They come in handy.
