Toy guns can't look authentic, but criminals can make real guns look like toys, WOW! Whooda thunk it? Hey, you anti-gun brainiacs in the Ohio, or any other state legislator, here's an idea, why not make brightly colored paints controlled substances to deter anyone from disguising a gun to look like a toy?

Perfectly logical extension of their "reasoning". Like thinking they will stop graffiti by banning sales of spray paint to people under 18.

I think what is going to happen is a law requiring toy guns have some sort of funny shaped part that is not on any real gun. Or, just as likely, a ban on toy guns.

Leave it up to these very stupid politicians to “TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM”. Since it’s illegal for law abiding citizens to conceal carry, these stupid politicians are saying that “ALL FAKE GUNS MUST BE PAINTED RED”. And because criminals, who by the way, don’t obey laws, will paint their real weapons “RED”. Why none of these politicians figured that out, before making that a “LAW”, is beyond my comprehension. But no one has accused any of these politicians to have “COMMON SENSE”, or the brains GOD gave a rabbit.

Actually if more criminals did this you’d be able to spot their guns much easier.

Well, that was a long time coming.
What idiot thought painting it orange makes it a toy?

Cops stand down!

Idiot lawmakers, idiot public.

OMG! Ban wood! Ban Carving! Ban Shoe polish!

Imagine having to make this judgment call with meager lighting in a split second.

Real or toy?

How about just making a law that says it’s illegal to shoot innocent people? That should take care of all of it.

“The legislation was modeled after a California law. Several other states and cities have similar laws.”

Never, I repeat never, “model” any law anywhere after anything our a$$holes up in Sacramento concoct. If you think you are mentally unstable, go download the “flowchart” they’ve come up with to determine if a particular gun is an “assault weapon.” The chart will convince you that you are still sane, but you will have a huge migraine for your introspection. If that doesn’t do it for you, might I suggest the rules for an “en banc” in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Best and brightest doesn’t even break the surface with either group.
