You must be an ultra liberal. I do not even know where to start. I realize a realistic toy weapon can lead to an untimely demise of an inoccent person. But, we all have responsiblities in life. I do not want the government telling me and my family what we can and cannot have and keep. Where does this BS stop? If someone does a robbery with a fake gun and officials end up putting him down....good.
I guess your on the "gun control" band wagon too. Another government smoke screen, to make people FEEL safer. What gun control does is, it ONLY makes it more difficult or impossible for an good, law abiding citizen to protect his family. I do not and will not rely on government agency to protect myself and family. Gun control does NOTHING to the criminal element, if they want a weapon, they will get it. Think they care that gun laws are restrictive? Of coarse not, they don't follow laws, period! It's total B/S that the government is taking my rights away in the name of criminals, it's a damn shame.Gun control is nothing more than a smoke screen.

To the person selling these toy guns, more power to you.

Last I heard this was the "land of the free", free to do what I ask, every day some scared little person is enacting laws where I'm trading my freedoms for the semblence of security. Let the man sell his pellet gun, the fool who decides to use this for criminal activity deserves what he or she gets. I'm with you on that 100%, gun control only works on law abiding citizens, criminals dont follow laws.

Does this guy not realize that he lives in NYC and is engaged in a passionate debate over his RKB CAP GUNS?

I think he lacks perspective.
