Yet they will allow guns that will do more damage than anything you can put in a water pistol.

Indeed................................

A strict contructionist reading of the Constitution's second amendment, and it is clear Americans do not have a right to bear squirt guns.  Or rubber bands. Or cap guns.  Or butter knives.  Or plastic spoons.  Or pea shooters. Or sling shots.  Or spit wads. Or bean bags.  Or ping pong balls. 

This is AMERICA, by God!  And we will have ourselves some law and order!

Also, that strict constructionist reading says Americans don't have a right to own personal firearms.  A strict Re-constructionist reading does. That's the problem with re-constructionists; they always "construct" the Constitution to say what they want it to and to match their regressionist ideology and dogma.

And the Regressives have done that by creating a bigger government.

Regarding water pistols...I'm a chemist...and if I do say so myelf a very good one specializing in analytical inorganic chemistry. And I know of literally dozens of things that could be put inside a water pistol that if 'fired' into a person's face could cause death or blindness...and most I could make in my basement withOUT sophisticated lab equipment, and using only materials easily, and legally bought in supermarkets or hardware stores.

So while a water pistol ban may sound silly, it actually makes sense.

Banning water pistols may seem silly but so does allowing firearms (other than with security personnel) at the convention. People DO shoot politicians in this country!
