Saw this on ebay:

M4 Resin Replica Movie Prop.  Very nicely handmade from resin.  This replica has no moving or removeable parts.  It can't be made to fire any type of projectile.  Great for movies, stage plays, reenactors, training, and display.  It weighs 5 1/2 Pounds.  ORANGE PLUG INSTALLED. REPLICA FIREARMS CAN'T BE SHIPPED TO CALIFORNIA, CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS, NEW YORK, KANSAS, WISCONSIN, OR ANY OTHER PLACE WHERE PROHIBITED.

You all can't even have "FAKE" firearms shipped to your state? Whoa!

Now that's a bunch of

What will these politicians think of next!

I've got a fake UZI, 1911 prior to the law being passed. But you can have air/CO2 powered pellet guns, though.

It sucks here, but I have a real good job. Can't leave yet.

Guess what else is banned here?

granted this doesn't mean the law isn't there somewhere
but in my searches of NY code the only references to replica or imitation guns being illegal is if you use one to make someone think you have a real gun during the commission of a crime
seller's probably being overly cautious, like sportsmansguide not selling axes or knives to NY

Quoted: Guess what else is banned here?

With luck, Feinstein.

Help us!!!!!!Please!!!![/b]

Yea Michigan is trying to follow suit.  We have a California educated canuk for a governer.

I have no idea why we're on that list.  We aren't a class III state, but aside from WIchita and few other towns the state laws are generally gun friendly.  I'll have to look it up.

The seller's got his information wrong about America's Dairyland as well.  We can have both the fake ones and the real ones.

OK.  This section seems to be the culprit.  But there are lots of exceptions.

K.S.A. 12-16,115.   Imitation firearms; civil penalty for sale, manufacture or distribution.

Thank the NRA.  America is an interesting place.  Due to nanny state regulation, and interest group power, strange conflicts occur.  For example, I can posess and shoot a semi auto AKM but if I posessed a single fire cracker, I have broken criminal law.

Oh yeah?

Well I can buy a Full Auto AK, but can't buy a semi auto AKM.

Beat that.

Shit.  Well, paint it orange and ship it here.

It is categorically untrue that such a product cannot be shipped or otherwise sold in CT. Perfectly legal. If it cannot be made to fire, it is 100% legal.

Yep... you might scare other sheeple with a fake gun...

I thought about trying to find a resin/replica M1 for a wall hanger/decoration... but damn, they are pretty expensive!!

Wouldn't/shouldn't that be considered an accessive fine for something so fucking trivial as something that "looks" like a firearm and is not. Thats got to be increadibly fucking uncnstitutional. 10k fine for a fucking fake, none functional, look a like non firearm. WTF!

Nothing illegal about owning them here in Massachusetts.  They're just paranoid and/or covering their asses.

It's like AIM Surplus won't ship C&R firearms to C&R holders here even though there's nothing illegal about it.

Same with pre-94 large capacity magazines.  Nothing illegal about those here either (as long as you have the right permit), but a lot of places wouldn't ship here.

Not unless the muzzle is painted red...

A *REAL* rifle would not be a problem, though, so long as it was either semi-auto or NFA transferrable...
