QuoteIt might not be unusual for schoolchildren to write to the president or vice president. But one Wisconsin boy got an unexpectedly personal response.

The 7-year-old, second-grade student at Downtown Montessori Academy wrote a letter to Vice President Joe Biden and other officials a few months ago with a simple idea for making the world safer.

His teacher Jenny Aicher says his letter suggested that if guns shot chocolate bullets, no one would get hurt.

The student — and the rest of the school — got a surprise Monday when Biden's handwritten response arrived in the mail.

In the note, the vice president says he agrees that chocolate bullets would make the country safer and happier. The note concludes: "People love chocolate. You are a good boy, Joe Biden."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Can we make a gun that fires chocolate bullets in that 3D printer thing?

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

It'd be kind of hard to kill anyone if all bullets were made out of chocolate.  Stupid hippie kid. :rolleyes:

Soft or hard?

This happens. People do actually respond to their mail from time to time. I got a handwritten letter from Governor (Mario)Cuomo when I was a kid. I didn't call a press conference about it.

The problem is the criminals will continue to use real bullets, while cops would be issued chocolate ones.
Also, when Homeland Security ordered their 5 billion bullets it would create a chocolate shortage and prices would go up, My Wife would not be happy.
