Gun color is becoming a matter of personal choice.

According to the gun manufacture's website the guns come in different colors.It appears that the factory finish on this one is ruby red.

There was a story out the other day in which an Alabama couple caught two thieves and held them for police.

What strained legal theory allows the cops to drag someone into court over this?

Then there are people who do something like this.

Real shotgun disguised as a toy.

This being said, thought should be given as to how to safely mitigate the risks involved here.

For instance, when kids are playing with toy guns, they need to be taught a strict rule that if *any* of the kids see a police officer in the area, they loudly yell out “STOP PLAYING!!!” (Absolutely NOT “cease fire”!) to the other kids, and they all immediately put their toy guns on the ground and step back away from them, even if they cannot see the kid who yells.

Once this is established as a cultural norm, that is, most kids know and obey it as a rule; then the police can adopt it as well. That is, if they see a kid with what could be a toy or real gun, instead of yelling “freeze!” or “drop the gun!”, they yell “STOP PLAYING!!!”

This gives a kid trained in this a chance to not get shot, and the cop a chance to not shoot a kid by accident. And, if the kid does not put his gun down and walk away from it, but points it at the cop, then the cop can legally shoot the kid without question.

If they kid does not obey, but does not act in an immediately threatening way, then the cop can shout out the other things, “freeze!” or “drop the gun!”, to try and get the kid to disarm with other means.

Increase safety, decrease ambiguity.

Actually some of those desert cammo patterns for AR style rifles look pretty cool and don’t make them look like toys.

We need to tell Ohio Legislative Black Caucus member Alicia Reece that just because you managed to be elected to public office doesn't obligate you to turn your stupid ideas into law. I swear, putting these people in control of the levers of power is like setting a 2-year-old in front of an old adding machine. They can push the buttons and make the machine go ratchety-chunk, but what ends up on the tape is just useless garbage. Operating such items requires knowledge of the subject at hand and the experience needed to facilitate the proper solution. These days, politicians barely know how to think, let alone resolve complex issues rationally.
