Bill Would Set Requirements For Toy Guns

[Madmallard]

A bill that would create a set of statewide regulations for toy guns was re-introduced on Thursday in the state Senate.

The bill is meant to take statewide a set of New York City requirements for toy guns and imitation weapons, such as having them made of a transparent or translucent material and be predominantly brightly colored.

“While on the surface they are seemingly harmless children’s products, toy guns have been responsible for an alarming number of real crimes and deaths,” the bill’s memo states.

“Since 1994, there have been at least 63 shootings in New York State as a result of imitation weapons being mistaken for real firearms, and at least 8 of those shootings were fatal. Hundreds of crimes have been committed in New York City with toy guns. While current state law regulates the composition of imitation weapons, these products are still widely available and dangerous.”

If law abiding citizens were allowed to protect themselves with real guns, crimes perpetrated with toy guns would not be an issue.

I used to use these exact water guns when I lived in the Bronx as a kid and no cop ever shot me. They never even batted an eye when my friends and I ran around the neighborhood shooting each other.


We used to also use these same cap guns too.

63 shootings? Not to insult and police as I respect police officers very much but how many of those 63 shootings were a result of a police shooting a person because of one of these?

A can of black spray paint can fix this if the law goes through. But then they will ban spray paint. The stupid laws will never end here in NY.

Violent criminals don't play around, they don't use toy guns.

ohh FUAC just banned spring fired guns in NY .. nerf guns ..

My son has about 15 Nerf guns and my daughter has one too. One of his could even look like an AR to the general public if spray painted black. I would really like to see someone knock on my door to confiscate the Nerf guns.

More to the point, how many of these shootings were a result of children playing games with one another, and how many were the result of an obviously aggressive looking individual (ie: criminal) pointing it at a police officer in an aggressive fashion?

Those 63 shootings happened over 25 years. Don’t forget that.

Well damn it, don't do stupid shit then. This is Darwin in action when crap like this get's pulled. Let it go and the herd will be thinned and the problem will cease.

Stop screwing with evolution.

 

[prambo]

Were the 63 shot criminals who had gone full retard? Were they mentally ill?

Were any innocent people shot? How much were the final settlements or jury awards?

Is this a real problem?....

When I was kid my Dad took my brother and I to Toys R Us to get some squirt guns, said we could get any one we wanted. I picked out a battery powered one that looked like an UZI and he actually bought it for me. My mother was pissed she didn't want us having toy guns of any sort but my old man went to the mat for me. Thanks dad!

Is this for real? Just cardboard guns, or would it be illegal to roll up a sheet of cardboard and beat a paper governor? It would be funny for a large group to go defile paper governors in front of the state capitol.
hahahaha
