Deadly toy guns are banned. Gee, I wonder if real guns are next?

I will be moving to Texas ASAP.

...state Sen. Noreen Evans, D-Santa Rosa, are considering introducing new legislation aimed at regulating toy guns, in light of the Lopez tragedy.

How about reining in trigger happy cops who shoot first and ask questions later?

So in Petaluma the cops would get a pass for gunning down a 13 year old with an airsoft gun?

How is this different?

I’m calling BS on this Petaluma PD.

“... or public display of any firearms ...”

Ah, the catch all phrase that will lead to your arrest.

Since when are BB guns considered firearms? They are certainly guns, but they are certainly NOT firearms.

P.S. “You’ll shoot your eye out!”

"The obscure Petaluma Municipal Code 10.56 outlaws the discharge or public display of any firearms..."

I guess in Petaluma you have the right to keep, but not bear arms.

Firing any type of gun within Petaluma's boundaries is a misdemeanor criminal offense punishable by a $75 to $500 fine and up to six months in jail.

They forgot to mention that violating the law is also punishable by execution.

When you’ve grown tired of shooting pet dogs, and want the thrill of killing an 8 yr old boy, these laws are just the excuse.

Municipal codes do not override the Second Amendmant, and toy guns are not firearms. Next they will outlaw toy forks, knives, and spoons.

And sporks, of course.

It would not be a surprise to find out that these elite liberal gits have already outlawed "assault" bats; as in any bat that can hold more than ten hands upon its length.

If this municipal code 10.56 is so OBSCURE, why are Sonoma Co sheriffs drawing down on a little kid with a toy gun?

"to protect and serve" Even if it means slaughtering your kids, the militarized police are here for your safety.

A toy gun is NOT a firearm. If it is a firearm it is not a toy anything.

I am generally pretty soft hearted. This one was so egregious tho that I believe I would allow the boy’s family to select a trained marksman and have him greet the cop.

The cop would be carrying a toy Glock 17. The marksman then could shoot the cop down like a dog.

Well it remains to be seen if the cops call the murder of the boy a “righteous kill.”

The actual airsoft gun in question next to a real one.

Well the protection of the cops out weighs the rights and protection of the general population.
