Society is lucky that most of these “thugs” are dumb as hell. It has never entered their minds to put some orange paint on their real guns. Just one “enterprising thug” could start selling guns with orange painted barrels and make a ton of money.

I’m not concerned that a thug will read this and go buy some orange paint. They can’t read.

Uh oh. They may have figured it out in reverse. Instead of painting a real gun orange, they’re painting toy guns black. Like I said, dumb as hell.

If this had been done and implimented in the 20’s and 30’s there would have been no Dillinger, Alvin Karpis, Baby-face Nelson, Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, .

PROGRESS is definitely being made in crime control.

I have not seen a toy gun in ANY store that did not have a bright orange barrel tip for the past 20 years.

Somewhere I read two sides of that. One was that some criminals were taking a black marker and covering up the orange tip. The other was that they were coloring the tip of a real gun with an orange marker.
