FoxNews reports that last Saturday, June 8, 2013, an elementary school in the San Francisco Bay Area — Strobridge Elementary School in Hayward — held buyback of guns — the toy kind, made out of plastic.
In exchange for the toy guns, students of Strobridge Elementary School in Hayward received books and a chance to win a new bike.
Strobridge’s principal, Charles Hill, said the school held the exchange because he thinks playing with toy guns increases the chance of children using real ones when they grow up.
But at least one gun rights advocate questioned the principal’s stance on guns. Yih-Chau Chang, a spokesman for the Responsible Citizens of California, said, “Guns are used in crimes, but they are more often used in defensive ways which prevent violent crime from occurring in the first place.”
According to Takepart.com, no credible statistics have been compiled to confirm the supposition that (real) gun buybacks reduce gun violence, even less of toy gun buybacks.

I’m beginning to think we have the Left all wrong. The problem actually is a simple one: They are just plain stupid!
