  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.

    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.

      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 on an improbable amount of plastic dinos distributed around the periphery of your basement it is maximally embarassing for them and maximally badass for you.

      Okay, but what about the right to plastic bears?

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

  Yeah, adult dinosaur toys would have feathers.

  Nah, if anything the store clerk is envying your dinosaur toys. I know I am.

  I still remember when the T-Rex toy came out for Jurassic Park. It had different rubber textures in different parts of its body, and you could move it in any way you wanted. It was THE dinosaur toy, imo

  But i was getting too old for toys and only had it for a short time. Good god damn that thing was awesome though

    Very few have been good.

    Most have been el cheapo unfortunately.

    No don’t do this. Own it. It’s cool and normal to buy dinosaur toys in your mid to late thirties and beyond. It’s excellent to buy those little sponge capsules that expand in the bath. Nothing is more sensual than a candle-lit bath with a fresh pack of expandable bath dinos. I’m willing to cage fight someone over this.
