"ill orange-striped barrels really prevent kids from being shot by police? "

That just tells you how out of control and incompetent cops have become.

HEY! It ain't da cops who're jamming the legislature with this crap! ['cept, mebbe, a couple change-agent, diploma-mill-educated doofusses with captain's rank, or higher]

BTW....until you have had a toy gun pointed at you in the course of a "gun complaint", you should refrain, I think, from throwing stones at incompetent cops. How 'bout stupid kids with toy guns? I came somewhat close to smokin' a 15 year-old who refused to drop what appeared to be a fully-functional 45ACP. The little bugger pointed it right at me while telling me it was a toy.

And that was 15 years ago. Today, I might not be so hesitant: I keep finding real ones in the booty-cracks of juvenile arrestees in my booking room. Sobering!
