    Why do rightwing idiots get to buy a “toy” ar15 with a drum magazine and bump stock and claim with a straight face it is “for home defense”?

    I think you can claim all your dinosaur toys are for home defense more credibly, just say at night you spread them all over the floor near your windows and doors so if someone broke in they would painfully step on the sharp dino bits and trip.

    There now your dino collecting is SERIOUS business and you are forced to do it to protect your family.

      It would be safer to defend my family with a 12” plastic t-Rex than a handgun.

      I’d also, inside a home, likely be able to get within range to strike with the plastic t-Rex before they could take aim.

      My plastic t-Rex isn’t gonna go through walls and kill someone, but if it does go through a wall … you got a new plastic T. rex to play with.

      We should have the right to T-Rex arms, not bear arms.

        Okay, but what about the right to plastic bears?

        Also make sure to equip your plastic T. rex with a skateboard for speed buffs.

        I support this, go one step further and get a pair of dino themed handcuffs so when you citizen arrest the home invader after they trip and get tangled confusedly into an improbable amount of plastic dinos distributed around the periphery of your basement it is maximally embarassing for them and maximally badass for you.
