Would you say the same if it were a squirt gun or a sucker dart gun?
They are about equal in “lethality”. They’d also just as equally be illegal under this also illegal NY law. They’d also just as equally cause Liberal sheep like this to bleat in terror.
Would you let your daughter shoot a bb gun then ride around a crowded park and point it at 2 year olds?
And I don’t believe your statement that squirt guns are equally illegal. Here is the statute. You can see the definitions yourself. http://www.nysrpa.org/files/nyc-admincode.pdf
