I love to go down to the schoolyard and watch all the little children jump up and down and run around yelling and screaming...They don't know I'm only using blanks.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker first describes children running and shouting as though watching ordinary play, then reveals that gunfire has caused their reaction. The reference to blanks supplies a disturbing punchline rather than reassurance for the frightened children. The joke relies on abruptly exposing cruelty beneath an apparently innocent scene.
