So important it's in ten languages

I think Spring might really be here.  On Monday Little Geek Girl was sent home with the snowflakes she had made and now they're getting ready to redecorate the kindergarten.  No pictures of the blue sky, snow drops, and crocuses because Zürich Daddy Geek has the camera to photograph candidate apartments/houses, but it sure is nice to hear the birds and see the world come back to life.

In today's mail we received something to the parents of kids and youth up to age 16 that live in the city of Zürich.  It's such an important message that it was printed in ten languages:  German, Italian, Albanian, French, Turkish, Portuguese, Spanish, Serbian, Croatian, and at the bottom, English.  The gist of the message is that there is a new law in Switzerland that bans imitation guns such as soft air guns and paintball guns.

Hmmmm... what about those adults with a very active inner child?  How will they find out?

Interesting. They ban toy guns.

But children as young as 7 are routinely taught how to shoot real guns. And every Fall there is a huge Rifle Shooting Contest -- for children!

But for heavens sake, keep them away from the fake ones!!!
