But, toy guns can and are altered to look realistic by people who have no intention of committing a crime with them, and altering toy guns is not a crime.
And anyone altering them to appear real will then be a crime. It's not fool proof, nothing is, but most people will not alter them. Those that do alter them to look real are braking the law, and are up to no good!
Cars are you insinuating that someone would alter a gun for nefarious purposes?
If so, you are condemning an entire race, because everyone knows only black and brown people would do something like that.
You sir are an ignorant bigot.
You, sir, doth protest too much. You are the only person here who has made any reference to race or bigotry in this discussion. Just you, MS, for no apparent reason outside your own conscience.
We were discussing the case of a white kid who shot multiple victims using a real gun when the danger of toy guns became the focus, for some reason.
When it comes to kids (and some adults) using toy guns that look real (or are altered to look real), they're white, hispanic, black, Asian and every other race and it's false to imply that their reasons must be "nefarious."
