No, I’m opposed to people painting their real guns to make them look like toys, and parading around a park scaring people needlessly.
“No, I’m opposed to people painting their real guns to make them look like toys, and parading around a park scaring people needlessly.”
I’m opposed as well, but wouldn’t people be less scared if it looked like a toy? I don’t think your argument works...
Attitudes like yours and others on this thread are the very reason our second amendment rights are in danger and have been gradually eroded away in some states.
The painting the gun tip orange is stupid, and I am talking about toy guns, and not for the safety of children but for the appeasement of anti-gun types. When I was a kid we all played with toy guns, constantly, no orange tips and no dead children by cops.
Cops who shoot children with toy guns are idiots and should be prosecuted.
People who panic merely at the sight of a firearm are first class cowards. 60 years ago someone walking around with a firearm would not have even stirred a comment other than some of the hikers would have wanted to look at the unusual piece.
Our country has come a long way and the appeasers on FR, on this thread and similar threads, show why PC is so effective: "OH", says the idiot that wants to keep all weapons out of site, "we can't show our weapons this will make people not like us!". This is appeasement at its highest order and totally stupid. If it is legal, then there is nothing wrong with him doing it. The orange tip doesn't make the gun any more lethal, and the fact that people went bat sh** over it shows how ineffective painting the tip of a toy gun really is.
This kind of BS makes one almost ashamed of some FReepers.
