This is the same gun that was displayed prominently at the NRA convention last weekend and the same gun that the 5 year old used to kill his little sister.

How is it a toy?

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/05...g-realistic-toy-gun-with-kids-in-queens-park/

A Queens man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly firing a lifelike weapon and handing it over to his toddler-age son.

The man’s family, however, called it all an overreaction to toy guns.

As CBS 2’s Dave Carlin reported, Jack Pawlowski was led out of his Queens home in handcuffs Wednesday, with his stunned wife and three young kids looking on. He said nothing as detectives put him into a squad car.

But earlier, he allowed CBS 2 up to the family’s apartment to get a video of what he calls the harmless “kids’ toys” that started it all.

Pawlowski told CBS 2 he took a toy gun, and two of his kids, around the corner to Ditmars Park. It was around noon and packed with kids and their parents.

It appears some in the park thought the guns were real at first.

“At first I thought I was hallucinating,” said Maria Smilios of Astoria. “He pulled out this gun.”

Smilios saw the toy up close, and at first thought it was the real thing. She gave CBS 2 a cellphone photo she said shows Pawlowski firing pellets at a tree.

“The next thing, he took his son, who is 3, and showed him how to use it, and then the family took turns shooting the gun. He gave it to his daughter, who took off on the bicycle and started racing around the park with the gun pointing this way and just started pointing it at the kids,” Smilios said.

This just shows how irresponsible many gun owners are.
It's hard to limit everyone from having guns (specifically the mentally ill, and people with criminal backgrounds, which I doubt this dad was).
 
Overreaction by liberal retards.
Anything to divert attention from Benghazi.
Obamacult desperation!!

First of all, it is not the same gun used in the terrible event in KY, which is what I'm guessing you're referencing. Second, it is a toy. A plastic gun that shoots plastic pellets ... Most likely not even with enough force to " put an eye out," as the line from that silly Christmas show goes.

All that aside, the dad acted idiotically in this case, IMO.

Granted, the Dad wasn't bright. But I am curious about the toy. Most toy guns that look somewhat realistic have a brightly colored plastic shroud on the end of the barrel. The Airsoft ones do.

Republicans better give Benghazi a rest (the "get Hillary" part anyway), investigate to make changes to prevent such from happening again and move on. This has the smell of something that is gonna bite 'em in the butt if they aren't careful.

Yes, I confiscated one off a kid here at school the other day. It had a plastic, bright orange tip on the barrel. The gun was black.

I went to the kid's house and gave the gun to dad, who promptly gave the kid a lecture and then a busting...case closed. I joked with the dad afterwards that had this been in certain parts of the country it would have been on CNN by nightfall.

Really?
Did Obama lie about his refusal to help the staff under attack?

Did Hilary lie about the facts to congress and the American people?

Was there a major coverup by the admin to protect Obama?

Did Hilary fake an injury/illness to avoid questions?

Are a sympathetic media refusing to report in this?

It is a cover up by callous uncaring self serving politicians.

4 Americans dead.

" who cares, what difference does it make" says Hilary.

" death is a part of life, get over it" said another of the clowns.

" it's too long ago to mention " says another!!

That last one will come back to haunt the liberal machine.
After 8 months you must remain silent about a subject, you got it liberal scum!!
I will hold you to your own standard.

Sorry, the story linked to it. However, the kid was "racing around the park with the gun pointing this way and just started pointing it at the kids".

This, btw, is the gun:



How do you think the other parents would react? Should they stop the kid and say "I'm sorry, I need to inspect that gun to make sure you can't kill me."

How many more kids would have been killed at Newtown if Lanza had been stopped by a parent to investigate whether his guns were real?

Ok, so now the guy who stuck a gun in a stranger's face for the crime of smoking in public presumes to lecture others on what constitutes "overreaction"?

there is a toy version that shoots plastic pellets and an identical looking one that shoots bullets

however, neither should be considered a toy
 
WinterBorn said:
Yes, one should be considered a toy because it IS a toy. It is certainly not a firearm.

wrong, children have been shot by police when they have pointed realistic 'toy' firearms at police, the police could not tell the difference

toy firearms that look realistic or even close usually have a neon colored red tip to identify them even in the dark

What's wrong with you??

Can't you see that this could lead to kids using squirt guns to spray dihydrogen monoxide at other people??
 
Howey said:
That may have been a bad comparison but my point is valid.

The so-called toy gun looked real enough to warrant the arrest.

If it had been used in a robbery it wouldn't make any difference.

Yes, the father was an idiot for doing this. But the toy is still a toy.
