Yes, the father was an idiot for doing this. But the toy is still a toy.
So you're agreeing with me? Good. It may be a toy, but it looked like a real gun. If the father had carried that toy gun into a bank he'd be arrested.

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
Wow, kids have been shot because cops are trigger happy morons. Color me fucking surprised.
It is not a gun, it is a toy.
Nothing can be Fired from it.
Nutzo plods goose stepping around enforcing a police state.
What next?
Ban toys?
Yes, one should be considered a toy because it IS a toy. It is certainly not a firearm.
what would the arrest be for if he carried it in to a bank?So you're agreeing with me? Good. It may be a toy, but it looked like a real gun. If the father had carried that toy gun into a bank he'd be arrested.
if you are NOT a cop and anyone points what LOOKS like a weapon at you, what are you supposed to do?if you are a cop and anyone points what looks like a weapon at you and you tell them to put it down and they do not, what are you supposed to do?
It fires nothing, to fire would require some form of flammable propellent, you know, cordite or gunpowder.You could rob a store with it; it is not a toy. You can terrorize parents in a playground; it is not a toy. It fires hard projectiles, it is not a toy.
Are you capable of putting yourself in the shoes of the parents in the playground who had no way of knowing it was not a .38 caliper handgun? What would YOU DO if a stranger pointed it at your kid? Laugh??

Little clue to that, the word fire.

Should banks ban paper?

No explosive propellant, no fire.HOW can you shoot at a target unless it can fire projectiles?

On Tuesday, Jack Pawlowski went to Astoria’s Ditmars Park to do some target shooting. Accompanied by his five-year-old daughter and three-year-old son. In a children’s playground.
After firing off a few rounds, Mr. Pawlowski passed the plastic gun–which resembled a .38-caliber pistol–to his daughter, who rode around on her bicycle and aimed it at a pair of two-year-olds, according to witnesses.
The website QueensMamas reports that the playground is usually full of “toddlers riding scooters, digging in the dirt, playing ball or blowing bubbles.”
On this morning however, “all that changed, when several 2-year olds had a plastic 38-caliber loaded pellet gun pointed at them. They became the target of a gun wielding 4-year old, whose father sat looking on, smiling while his daughter terrorized the children; in fact, it was the father who loaded the gun and fired shots at the tree before handing it over to his daughter.”
Mr. Pawlowski, for his part, thinks people are totally overreacting. Speaking with the Daily News he dismissed the story as “concerned parents” making a fuss over nothing.
“They’re a little paranoid,” Mr. Pawlowski told the Daily News. “There’s a lot going on in the world—killing kids, stuff like that.”
Did you ever think that they might be “paranoid” because you gave your five-year-old daughter a weapon in a children’s playground? In the country where school shootings are as plentiful as Big Macs and where young children regularly murder one another with guns marketed to kids? Just speculating here.

Father, daughter fire off pellet gun in crowded Ditmars Park
A nearby mother said she 'thought (she) was hallucinating' after witnessing the bizarre father-daughter exchange. Cops didn't arrive for an hour and the 'knucklehead' was gone.
A man and his young daughter terrorized a crowded Queens playground Tuesday when the dad fired a pellet gun that looked like a real firearm, frightened parents said.
The father whipped out the plastic gun, which resembled a .38-caliber pistol, in Astoria’s Ditmars Park around noon, witnesses said. He then spent popped off shots at a nearby tree, the website Queens Mamas reported.
It gets worse. The bad dad eventually handed over the gun to his little girl, who rode around on her bicycle pointing it at a pair of 2-year-olds playing, witnesses said.
Horrified parents called the cops, who took more than an hour to arrive.
The gunman’s wife, who would not give her name, admitted Tuesday night that her husband may have used poor judgment.
“I agree the gun looks real,” she said, adding that her older son purchased the piece at a street fair in Poland. “They shouldn’t have brought it to the playground.”
Maria, the frightened mother, was less diplomatic. “That man is nuts. He’s dangerous.”

If its a CHILD I'm going to slap them. If its someone 13 or older, they should know not to fuck around.
