LONDON REFUSES KIDS TICKETS TO GUN-RELATED OLYMPIC EVENTS

(1/1)

RLMoeller:
Schoolchildren in London are eligible for 125,000 free tickets for the 2012 Olympics next sumer, but any event that involves a firearm will be excluded from the massive giveaway.

Why, you ask, would anyone choose to hide storied events and world class competitors from children’s eyes?

Because City Hall and Olympic Organizers are afraid of an anti-gun backlash. That’s right — the powers that be  in London won’t subject kids to such bloodsports as Skeet and Trap shooting. The London Evening Standard reported yesterday on the “Ticketshare” decision, and the window it has given into current British views on guns in society.

You know, at first I thought that was really funny... but the more I think about it I feel bad for those kids.  The UK is a nanny state about EVERYTHING (not just guns) and it's something that could happen here if we don't keep our legislators in check IMO.

SBarry:
It is a ploy to keep them from an armed revolt, their freedoms are gone, plain and simple.
