The Baltimore City Council gave preliminary approval Monday to a citywide ban on toy guns that look like working handguns and rifles.
Council members introduced the legislation after a 14-year-old East Baltimore boy holding a BB gun was shot by a city police detective in April.
City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young said replica guns are contributing to violence on Baltimore's streets. He said people are using the fake weapons in robberies, and children who carry them are put in harm's way.

Ping.
Hard to believe this was one of the Original 13 Colonies.
If passing laws work so great just make a law against robbery.But WAIT! there's more
and children who carry them are put in harm's way.
OH! So it's for the children. Then make a law against child endangerment instead of against ownership of replica guns.
Really sad. But remember who the DA and AG are/were.
Does this mean there will be no Red Ryder BB guns for Christmas?
Pass something utterly unenforceable, and then pat ourselves on the back like we’ve solved the problem.
You’ll shoot your eye out!
** He said people are using the fake weapons in robberies **
I have an idea! Let’s pass a law to make robbery illegal.
Oh. Wait.
No, I'm not going to say that.
How to reduce crime in he’ll of socialist Baltimore:
Put the thugs in jail. On chain gangs. Picking up trash on I95.
Allow all law abiding citizens to arm themselves. The city DA encourages self defense.
No welfare if there is no mom and dad.
No welfare if the kids skip school.
Police are encouraged to do their jobs.
If all replica guns are banned, then do police have the right to assume any realistic looking weapon they encounter is in fact a fully functioning handgun?
The law of unintended consequences has not been repealed.
The dolts in Baltimore can’t even figure out the problem, let alone a solution.
There is no legal definition of a replica. Just try to define it.
So now you’d better not chew your poptarts in the shape of what someone calls a “gun”. Or draw a sketch. Or “make a gun with your fingers”.
No legal definition means that all it takes is for someone to claim that “that’s a gun”, and it’s jail time.
Watch out how you eat your pop-tart.

"How else ma baby gonna get clothes fer skool?"
The FBI probably has statistics on how many people were actually shot with replica guns last year.
Next, they should consider banning sporks. Those things are really dangerous.
Well, it should cut down on replica crime. You know, acts that look just like a crime but aren’t.
These should extend this law to prohibit people, especially youngsters, from gnawing Pop Tarts into shapes vaguely resembling guns. Such gnawed Pop Tarts could be mistaken for real guns.
