Thank GOD they are dealing with this, instead of Socialized medical care, an out-of-control EPA, and arson and looting and murder in Baltimore!
That doesn’t sound like it would stand a second in court. A gun looks reasonably like a child would use it. Of course, That could give some government douchebag an idea... :-/
I’ve been watching the three hour movie, “Brave New World” based on the book by Aldous Huxley, that was played by the BBC back in 1980. So many things it touches are very disturbing and how they are coming true in the USA and the West.

The same actor that played the character, David Bowman, that was murdered by the HAL 9000 in the movie, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” plays the main character in this movie.
Perhaps I should have worded it, “If it reasonable to assume a child would use it the item must meet all regulations.” I get what you’re saying. Most people don’t even know these regulations exist. And what small batch handmade work from home mom has the resources to fight these kind of regulations? I had a very low quantity sales Etsy shop selling baby items like bibs and burp cloths out of organic cotton. I found out that they are considered clothing, and as clothing they must all be tagged and tracked. I must keep a monthly updated spreadsheet of where my fabric came from, how much I had in stock, etc for every fabric I had. All fabrics must be tested for lead unless they were of certain materials. If I didn’t want to test for lead and made fewer than a certain dollar amount of items I could apply to the gov’t for a small batch manufacturer number and use lead certifications from the materials manufacturers. And on and on. I just closed my shop rather than deal with the nonsense. It’s just way too cumbersome to be worth the small amount of profit to be made.
By the way, this is from the same gov’t agency that banned drawstrings on children’s jackets because over the 25 years that they studied there was 18 deaths caused by the drawstring getting caught on something. Not to make light of any death, but 18 over 25 years out of the millions of drawstring jackets worn during the same time frame?
Anti-bacterial soap existed at least 20 years before the Aids crisis....Dial soap was introduced in 1948.
What we all think of as anti-bacterial soap, or anti-bacterial liquid hand soap was first patented in 1984.
