Ignoring everything else they busted them for... if it wasn't for that Nerf logo they'd have nothing. With it though they can get them from counterfeiting.

ETA: Also interesting that they went with an arm brace. This would be one of those situations where you may as well gone all the way.

Couldnt an argument to be made that painting your gun like a Nerf gun or any other way is a First Amendment issue?

You can paint it any color or scheme you want the issue is the first guy actually had nerf written in it. Of course a gang banger doesn't care either way.

I’d say as long as you don’t put the word nerf on it or a logo of the company you’re fine.

Could someone point out where there were any firearms charges mentioned in the article?


"Firearms of this type, while not illegal to possess, are concerning to law enforcement," the release said. "Firearms, in general, are commonly seized in conjunction with searches where felony amounts of narcotics are present."

Damien Alonzo Burch, 35, of Catawba was arrested and charged with felonious possession of cocaine, felonious possession of mushrooms and misdemeanor possession of marijuana, the release said.

Toys guns need to be painted bright toy colors and soon real guns will required to be paint evil gun colors? or maybe we should reverse that so the real guns are easier to spot. Finger gun will require registration of your finger prints, if your finger print don't match your finger gun it shale be deemed a felony amputation.
