Can chocolate be the new gun control?
(CNN) - While lawmakers in Washington have yet to agree on proposals to reduce gun violence, Myles Nelson, a seven-year-old from Milwaukee, has his own mouth-melting pitch: Turn bullets into chocolate.
"Dear Vice President Biden, I have a great idea," Nelson wrote in a letter that he read aloud to CNN Affiliate WTMJ. "I think guns should shoot out chocolate bullets. Then no one will get killed and no one will be sad."

Explaining the logic behind his idea, Nelson said, "I just like chocolate very much."
Nelson mailed his letter to Biden, President Barack Obama and Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wisconsin, as Washington grappled with ways to combat gun violence in a months-long debate this year.
Certain gun control measures, including an assault weapons ban and an expansion of the background check system for firearm purchases, fell short of the 60 votes needed to proceed in the Senate last month.
The vice president, who has become the administration's leading voice on gun control since the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, responded to Nelson, giving him a thumbs-up.
"Dear Myles, I really like your idea. If we had guns that shot chocolate not only would our country be safer, it would be happier. People love chocolate," he wrote. "You are a good boy."
Along with Biden, Moore also wrote back but Nelson said his mailbox is still waiting for another response.
"Well, I was very happy that (Biden) wrote me a letter," he said. "But I'm still waiting for Obama to do it."

the scary part is that crazy joe is likely to take this and run with it. except he'll advocate for chocolate buckshot as he prefers shot guns.
I like this kid. Too bad he's probably going to hate this video a decade from now.
""Well, I was very happy that (Biden) wrote me a letter," he said. "But I'm still waiting for Obama to do it.""
Uh oh...here come the Teatrolls screaming "CAN OBAMA PLEASE NOBODY!?!?!?!"
haha...cute story
The only thing that will stop a bad guy with chocolate is a good guy with more chocolate.
"Well, I was very happy that (Biden) wrote me a letter," he said. "But I'm still waiting for Obama to do it."

Maybe if you addressed him appropriately as President Obama you'd stand a better chance, little boy.
"Dear Myles, I really like your idea. If we had guns that shot chocolate not only would our country be safer, it would be happier. People love chocolate," he wrote. "You are a good boy."
Cute letter, nice response.
It's useless to continue debating 'gun control'; let's start talking about gun owner responsibility.

As a grandmother, I spend a great deal of my time reading to my grandchildren. I tend to go more for the older version storybooks, leaving the newer stuff for their parent's to read to them. I recently read "The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf" to my three year old grandson.
I absolutely recommend our friends in GOPerville either read it to themselves or have an adult read it to them. It would be a story well read and a lesson well learned ... politically and personally.
I'm sure those nice criminals would like it better too.
If this article was in print, I could call it a waste of ink. As it is, it's just a waste of time. If our leaders weren't so manipulated by the gun lobby, maybe we could make progress to end this nation's embarrassing obsession with guns.

Agreed, on BOTH counts.
