It's coming - the banning of toy guns

DALLAS -- Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle is joining parents in a push to
ban sales of toy guns.

"Police officers don't have the luxury of time to determine whether or not it's a toy gun or a real gun. They have to decide if they see a weapon. They have to make a decision," said Dallas resident Peter Jackson.


Well, if we should ban everything an officer might mistake for a gun in a quick "decision", I guess eyeglass cases would have to be on the list.

I told you this sort of thing was coming...

Mark my words, all of these stories are leading up to something. BB-guns and other "replica guns" or "look-alike" guns will either be banned or recategorized as firearms. You'll see legislation forcing manufacturers of these toys to change how they look or quit making them all together. You'll see laws that treat them the same as real firearms when it comes to purchasing, possessing, and transferring.

Do it for the children.

I love how cops can't be held responsible for their decisions to shoot.

"Well, let's see here. The corpse is a ten year old wearing a cowboy hat. You don't suppose that was a cap gun do you?"
