Angelina Jolie shares her love of cutlery with Maddox
I must have been nine or ten; I remember being almost as amazed that I won the auction for the pocket knife as I was that my mother let me bid on it. That was, however, the first of many knives and other weapons I owned -- a few of which my mother ...
Clue boardgame gets unneccessary update
What is it with the remakes? First every movie we've already seen, then all our favorite television programs (Mister Rogers is around the corner, I'm warning you) and now the boardgames. No, they turned Clue into a movie a long time ago--and it was ...
Tasers in the classroom?
Tasers have gotten a lot of bad press lately, what with over-zealous use by some members of the law enforcement community. In fact, I'm not sure there really could be anything but bad press about the devices which use electricity to shock a target ...
A treehouse full of guns
I've been wanting to build a treehouse for my kids for quite a while now, but after reading this story I think there's one feature I'm definitely going to add -- a lock. A father in Florida went out to check on the treehouse he'd built for his ...
Lego weapons for your little ones

Despite her fears of a Columbine-style attack and a bullying ex-husband, an Oregon judge has ruled that teacher Shirley Katz will not be allowed to bring her gun to school. Katz, an English teacher at South Medford High School had sued the Medford ...
Hello Kitty assault rifle makes killing cute, efficient
On the back of news that Hello Kitty has dropped that obnoxious, squeaky-voiced cutesy routine for something a little more adult, comes the latest in HK gear -- and this one is definitely not for kids. The Hello Kitty Assault Rifle not only lets ...
Why have a dress code?
While we're on the subject of school dress codes, here's a video I came across while looking into the subject. In the course of less than a minute, a student removes a dozen firearms -- including what appears to be an Ingram M11 submachine gun and a ...Don't bring grenades to school
You'd think this would be obvious, but apparently it wasn't for one 5th grader at a small Canadian middle school. He brought a disarmed WW II grenade to class for show and tell, and promptly caused a bomb scare. The bomb was harmless, but that ...Military summer camps on your schedule?
There were more than a few moments over the winter when I dreamed of carting my kids off to summer camp. Any kind of camp would be great, but perhaps a military sort of camp that would whip them into shape and lend them some discipline sounded even ...
Junior Terrorist Playset
So there I was in Toys R Us, looking for one of the new Land Rover 110 die cast vehicles Matchbox has put out, when I spotted a nearby display that was more than a bit disturbing. It was over in a section we don't generally visit, with all the swords ...
