Kid in Baltimore turns toward police with gun in hand. Cops shoot him. Turns out to be a bb gun. Sjw posing as reporters go schizo over cops shooting kid with bb gun. Cops put two guns on table. Real one and bb gun. Ask reporters to tell which is which. Reporters can not tell which is which. But they think cops are supposed to be able to from distance. http://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2016/...ed-attempting-to-determine-which-gun-is-real/
And parents who let their kids buy such guns are idiots for doing so. My 8 year old loves airsoft stuff and fake guns to play with at the playground. He goes to toyguncity.com to get the guns he plays with, but I have to approve them. Guns that -even slightly - resemble real firearms are, of course, his favorite. But he's moans when I tell him there's no way he's getting them. He's only allowed guns that are obviously fake. We made one deal where he was able to get a black gun and I spray painted it different colors to make it an obvious fake.
I feel the same way. When I see such activity, and I have, I question whether that person should own a gun, even if they are otherwise completely sane. I wonder if people who shoot their guns into the air realize the force that bullet comes back down to the ground with, especially with rounds like .223. Maybe if it hits them on the head on the return trip, they'll be more careful....if they survive. Some years back, I saw an extremely drunk man shooting a .22 at some trees after bragging to the land owner how he would shoot any poachers if they entered his land that night. He didn't even see the man in the boat on a pond just beyond the trees. That kind of stupidity is what I'm talking about. And then there are people holstering cocked pistols that have no hammer safety mechanism (or worse yet, sticking such cocked pistols in the front of their pants). I'm very pro gun, but I always preface gun ownership with the word "responsible".
Aren't BB guns, Airsoft and fake guns supposed to have a brightly colored piece on the muzzle so that LE can determine at a glance, "real from toy"?
RICTER...your're definitely out numbered in this thread...THANKS for going into the "LIONS DEN"...it's good to hear both sides!
if you want to see what SERIOUS gun control looks like just cross that southern border. Even knives are illegal.
