We call the Chinese Communist the ChiComs. Has been so since Vietnam.

The current Democrat Party is the “ComDem Party”. I have been using that for quite a while. I even use it on Twitter as: #ComDem Crazy

It isn’t going to stop until the ‘good guys’ start suing and/or bringing charges against the nanny-staters for these kinds of ridiculous acts/arrests.

RE :”Toy guns, BB guns, handguns, rifles, shotguns, fully automatic weapons and so on would be legal every where. I just have to laugh at the utter stupidity of New Yorkers. They built their utopia. I am prepared to stop its spread. “

I remember BB guns were illegal there NYC as far back as 1960s when I was young,

So I guess the moral is ‘dont take a real looking toy gun out in public in NYC if you have a illegal BB gun at home’, if thats what really happened.

I have no proof yet, but IMO, it wasn’t a BB gun. IMO, the pellets they speak of are plastic. It’s a toy, not even a BB gun.

Bastards just voted in CO to give driver’s licenses to illegals. We used to be fairly conservative here not so long ago.

Colorado House gives first OK to give licenses to those in country illegally

Are we to assume from that incident that it is illegal to discharge a cap gun? In my day cap guns rang out and their smoke billowed often on my street.

From watching the video, it appears to be an airsoft with the orange tip removed. Just a hunch, but I suspect this guy was trying to provoke a response and got it.

People think I'm crazy but I think I make a pretty good case for choosing Detroit over NY, Chicago, or most other large cities. (If I were to live in a city)

In Detroit you can eat or drink what you choose and you can openly carry a gun and use it in self defense if necessary. Detroit politicians are crooks but they don't care what the people do. I think it should be encouraged as a destination for urban frontiersmen.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The toy gun was a plastic pellet gun that shoots plastic pellets. Being hit with a rubber band would be more painful. Plastic pellet guns are not BB guns in book, but Bloomberg would argue that point since he knows everything about guns.

Was it a ‘toy’ gun or a ‘BB’ gun or both?

If I were the guy, I would hire a lawyer to research the statute prohibiting 'toy' and/or 'BB' guns. I have my doubts that one even exists. If it does not, both the city and the snoopy snitch could be liable. Press charges and sue the hell out of them.

I'm afraid that it's too late for that. It won't stop until local citizens start to "tar and feather" the snitches and enforcers of illegal laws. Then finding those caught doing so NOT GUILTY with jury nullification.

I guess in New York it is illegal to own a realistic looking toy gun. Here is what New York law states regarding toy guns:

“It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sell, possess or use or attempt to use or give away, any toy or imitation firearm which substantially duplicates or can reasonably be perceived to be an actual firearm unless:

(a) the entire exterior surface of such toy or imitation firearm is colored white, bright red, bright orange, bright yellow, bright green, bright blue, bright pink or bright purple, either singly or as the predominant color in combination with other colors in any pattern”

And people from New York claim that they are so sophisticated.

Just the garden variety urban hillbillies.

It is beyond a laughing matter -- the guy is still in jail.

Stupidity is taking over.

There is a city ordinance that prohibits the sale of toy guns and anything resembling a gun. Just a week or two ago, a NYC store owner was arrested for selling gun shaped lighters. He was fined $60,000.

“The communists are doing everything they can to indoctrinate our young and doing it by demonizing firearms.”

I agree with you. Now ponder this, these are the same folks that demonize guns at every opportunity and tell us that they must do this so that children will never want to use a gun. Yet, they also say that continual exposure to sex, at younger and younger ages, is to “educate” children so that they will be less apt to engage in sex.

Why the demonization approach to guns, but the “education” approach to sex? I’d say that they are admitting their perversion.

"One good thing ... when CW2 comes the fed government won't have any real men to draft to fight us in the south this time

I had to laugh at that, and it made me think of that scene from The Three Amigos where Steve Martin announces "they're using real bullets." LOL

Those are good "nuts and bolts" solutions. I hope everyone pays heed to your recommendations rather than just express "outrage". We need to talk but we also need to act.
