Every year around this time a bunch of nanny-state busybodies try to suck the joy out of the holidays by releasing a list of toys they believe should not be sold to children.<\/p>\n
This year is no exception<\/a>:<\/p>\n “The Empire State Consumer Project<\/a> has written a letter to the Hasbro<\/a> board of directors, calling for them to remove assault-style toy weapons from their product line … The Nerf Ultra One<\/a> and other nerf machine guns are the target of a letter from the Empire State Consumer Project. Director Carol Chittenden says the toys set a bad example for children. \u201cIt\u2019s a matter of this being a very vulnerable consumer group. Children buy what they see and we\u2019re not sure this is driven by market demand for assault weapon toys by children or the industry creating the demand,\u201d said Carol Chittenden, director of the Empire State Consumer Project …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Nerf Ultra One<\/a> looks kinda like a Pancor Jackhammer<\/a> with a 25 round drum mag.\u00a0 It’s fucking awesome.<\/p>\n
