[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 221077, member: 8657"] Maybe legislation is over reacting, maybe not. The Bureau of Justice Statistics states that even back in 1990, police departments nationwide reported 31,650 imitation guns seized between January 1985 and September 1989 during crime related incidents. In New York City alone, more than 1,400 toy guns were used in crimes in 1987, 80 percent more than four years earlier. I think we've all read from time to time about "fatal misunderstandings" involving crimes in our areas that have been committed with misleading looking guns. So I'm thinking this may not be so much about small children as it is about keeping fake firearms out of the wrong hands. [/QUOTE]
