    I just wandered in here from Hot, and I’m sure you will handle this lovely gun in a responsible manner. But I worry: the pretty rainbow colored plastic looks like “this is a toy gun, don’t shoot this kid, officer.” But it is a real gun. Which might lead to the next time that officer sees a real kid with an actual toy gun, having a quasilegitimate reason to “fear for his life” and shoot the kid. Still his fault not yours of course…

      You’d should see the “Nintendo” or “Nerf” firearms that should never leave the photoshoot or range. Guns are dangerous, but fun and a great responsible time; edging guns as “toys” is boarderline irresponsible gun ownership and use.

      I’m not sure I follow your logic. They sell pink guns made of real metal too

      How about we just disarm violent police? Did you know that they are twice as likely to beat their wives yet we militarize them?

      We pay them a lot of money to shoot our friends and children in the face and when it comes down to it they won’t even protect your school children from slaughter 😔

      I think if you commit any non-defensive violence in any form you should be permanently banned from gun ownership until the day that you die. that includes the police. ARM THE NON VIOLENT

        I completely agree with you about violent police. We could do a lot by teaching cops that just because a person is holding something, they’re not necessarily an imminent threat. Whether it’s a kid with a toy gun, a black man with a cellphone, or even a distraught person with an actual gun, talking and de-escalating should be the first course of action.

      I agree, we should punish people with colourful guns so cops stop shooting children
