    We keep ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ out of schools because of the bottle of wine in her basket.

    What?! :wtf: I know the USA's had a turbulent relationship with alcohol in the past, but that's just ludicrous.

      Califonia[^], apparently. The same state which banned the dictionary[^] for containing "sexual definitions".

                They really didn't think these through, did they? They make you focus on what has been banned and should un-ban it rather than ban the guns which is the point they appear to be trying to make. Besides, guns are not, of themselves, dangerous, people are. Put anything into the hands of a dangerous person and they will commit mayhem. Knives, pressure cookers...

                  The collective IQ of California is about -∞. At least, it often seems that way. Reminds me of the Indiana Pi Bill.

                          Nope: but the parents are plainly morons for letting a boy of 5 play unsupervised with a weapon.
