Yup. And fwiw, kids know better than to traverse a city or residential neighborhood with their airgun. Out in the country, it's not a big deal. But around people and homes and such, it's self evident that you shouldn't have your airgun with you.
Maybe someday you will know..but not today. By the way..everything I said is perfectly researchable...and true.
Oh wow.....now that's a very mature answer....in your world anyway. Obviously you can't explain what you were talking about and I'm not going to waste my time asking you again......so, go play some where else.
Glock does sue air soft companies, replica makers and anyone else making unlicensed copies. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/04/23/glocks-war-replicas/ Other way you can tell the fake is the muzzle. It is detectable in the officers hands , but just barely. So I went with the sure thing. Glock does not like toys made to replicate their products.
When I was 13 or 14 I used some birthday money to buy a BB gun that looked just like a 9mm from a flea market. The moment I got home and my dad saw it, he took it from me with little explanation only asking what I paid for it. He gave me money back and told me to go buy something else. To this day i (*)(*)(*)(*) you not I have not seen that BB gun lol. I think I will ask him about it and see if I can have it back now haha.
The day cops began to carry guns, was the day it was stupid to point a toy gun at the cops. Parenting worked back then. It is only recently that parents lost touch with that reality. Or it is the victim class looking for lawsuits from the obvious.
When my parents got divorced it was right around the time I was learning to shoot in the scouts. He got me a pellet/BB rifle, and later a pellet revolver. They were lots of fun, but I would never have left the house with it and only shot it in the backyard. Dad would never have let us take em anywhere else. - - - Updated - - - Mama raised a fool. If the problem blacks want to whine about is that their teens can't walk around with toy guns, they just aren't getting it.
1) Some police officers are so defensive that they will always find a reason to shoot first. 2) Only an idiot would give their child a toy gun that looks anything like a real gun and doesn't have some nerf projectile in this day and age 3) Blacks need to take ownership that the reason 1 and 2 exist are because of the history of their own community with violence and stop pretending to be victims of racism. If I felt that my child would half to work twice as hard to get even half ahead of other children, then I would make sure he worked 3 times as hard instead of trying to drag others down. In trying to end Jim Crow, we have somehow managed to create a culture of lowered expectations. I sometimes think blacks would be better off if affirmative action had never been created.
When I was young, every single kid played "guns" in backyards. Not one of us, who occasionally numbered in the dozens, was ever mindless enough to think that it was a good idea to take a realistic-looking gun and go into a public place waving it around and pointing it at random people like this. [video=youtube;nY2LuY7F3nY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY2LuY7F3nY[/video] Were we white? Most of us were. Regardless, it wouldn't cross our minds to walk up to the square and scare people with realistic looking toy guns. Moving along with another quote... Again, carrying what looks like a gun in public in front of a recreational center. Here's a sweeping generalization, and I don't care how it sounds. White kids don't do that. Asian kids don't do that. Indian kids don't do that. Middle Eastern kids don't do that. Etc. So, to answer the OP's questions, not giving a flying turd if my answer isn't "PC" enough: Maybe not until other kids teach them how to play with them. Is Baltimore? http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-ci-deadliest-year-20160101-story.html Oh, it depends on the gun-waving suspect's personality. Some prefer a casual meet and greet and an exchange of business cards before being asked to drop a weapon. Others might opt to fill in a short questionnaire if they have the time. The bottom line is that the cop is always wrong, no matter the situation. Just ask any urban Democrat. In summary, ask yourself this question: In a city that finished off last year with a record-high 344 homicides, if a mother were to buy her son a very real looking toy gun that he is going to take into public and walk down the city streets, waving it around at people who have no idea it isn't real... isn't that mother the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing idiot who is the actual problem?
They better not get a victory in the lawsuit either. I said the day this happened that the officers should sue the baby momma for distress from killing a child. Baby momma and future swatters need to learn sacrificial murders don't pay.
This was Baltimore. How many white kids are playing with fake-but-real-looking guns in Baltimore? My guess is not a hell of a lot.
Not sure if this is a Liberal post or Conservative. Is it Conservative to let kids have toy guns if they don't remove the orange safety tip? Is it Liberal if kids remove it? We have been through decades of "Cowboys vs. Indians" in which case the guns actually explode black powder to make firing noises. We all know, no one wanted to be the Indian with the primitive fire power. Not sure if this thread is targeting today's black children or yesterday's white children. Looks like "Sundance" explains this in post #7. Sounds like black people need to take a good sober look at their culture. (Seems extreme to me since the OP isn't about guns but about children with guns. When did "black" get introduced into the topic?) - - - Updated - - - So It's a "white" issue as stated by this person. Or is it a black issue. Tell us wise bigots.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were more real guns in kids hands than fakes. And if the parents didn't know better, well this was Darwin in action. - - - Updated - - - This is the real problem here. Parents not taking care of their children.

Neither. It's a city-issue. You don't play with real-looking guns in a crime-ridden city like Baltimore. Seems pretty common sense to me. For those making it a race issue, they need to point out for me all the white kids who are playing with real looking guns in cities like Baltimore that are going unmolested by police. Then they would have a point. Until then, they don't.
https://www.google.com/webhp?source...TF-8#q=white kids shot by police with toy gun - - - Updated - - - He shouldn't be doing it anywhere.
Wait...if having a toy will get you killed and is "irresponsible"...that toy should be illegal. - - - Updated - - - Neither of the kids in the OP pointed anything at the cops.
not to mention kids weren't routinely caught with "REAL" guns... I still consider pellet guns real guns, but now the cops are taking a record number of 22's and 9mm's off kids, so there is a very good reason they are "stressed" when they see kids pull out a gun that looks like a much more harmful gun... if anyone thinks they can tell a real gun from a "fake" gun in a fraction of a second, which gives the officer little time to make a decision, draw their weapon, and shoot, they are out of their mind... people have posted countless "which is real and which is fake" videos online, and the results are so mixed almost nobody can tell in a couple seconds little alone a split second... they all sit there with the video paused, trying to look at the gun and study it and pick it apart using a real picture to compare it to... this isn't reality, cops don't get that luxury... in my day, fake guns were colorful shiny plastic toys... and the pellet guns looked real, because they WERE real guns... today, people think pellet guns aren't real guns, and they want them to look like more deadly weapons... thats what is wrong with society... there is a reason why I think almost every state now requires you to be 18 to buy one... and why the packaging says they should not be treated like toys or children left unsupervised with them, because they are real guns... just because you play around with something, doesn't make it a harmless toy... (clearly this whole topic frustrates me, I'm starting to become the guy who screams get off my damn lawn to people)
I think it shows how little experience a white person has with black people if they are having to ask themselves questions like these. I grew up with black and brown friends, and yeah we played "war" with our toy guns too, just like everyone else. The main difference between then and now is that toy guns look more real now and we had enough sense not to be pointing them at cops. Tamir Rice did nothing?? He painted over the orange tip of the toy gun so everyone would think it was real, then he reached for it when confronted by the cops, and got shot for his stupidity. Don't be stupid.
Na, what should be illegal is morons who blame everyone or everything else for their own faults. How about parents actually being parents and not allowing their lil devils run around with guns that look real and pointing it at random people? Or how about not letting your 11 year old idolize dumb ass rap artists and pretend to be little gangsters? Oh no wait, that is too much work, society should be doing that for them right?
