Trey, who wrote about the wussification of Dallas in our January issue, says that the Dallas Morning News story today about officers getting fooled by toy guns doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have toy guns. It also doesn’t mean, he says, that toy guns look more real today than they used to (true … follow his links to see). It means we’re too conditioned to be freaked out by guns. I have to admit: guilty as charged. But that’s only because guns kill people.
Update: Trey points out: “Guns don’t kill people, hydrostatic shock from the bullet kills people.” Fair enough.
Update to the update: Chris Rock also believes in bullet control over gun control.
