I have not seen a toy gun in ANY store that did not have a bright orange barrel tip for the past 20 years.
I suspect the little miscreants bought one from Walmart and painted the tip black.
Just another shakedown for the Cuomo Bottomless Spending Machine.
Now NY will prolly pass a law making it illegal to have real guns with painted barrel tips.
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.
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.
