Toy guns,Should they be banned?

[dmsjit67]

i have two younger brothers and playing with toy guns is just a boy thing! all of my brothers have been playing with plastic firearms since we were little, and now I want to buy some toy guns for them , Just like this super gun:
Toy Super Submachine Gun Electrical Motivated Army Equipment,Super Submachine Toy
but I was so surprised and astonished at their talk at the Capital that they were going to ban toy guns,because they look too much like real guns. One store in my area has already pulled the toy guns off the shelves. The police are saying that it is hard for people and for the cops to tell the difference if a car is just driving by, etc…
why they do this???
Do you think they should be banned?
How about violence on TV, and video games, how do you think it is impacting children?

The problem is mostly not with "toy guns" but with Airsoft/BB guns. I have a Daisy Carbine Lever-action BB gun from the old days before they were rated and powered down. and it looks just like a real .22 caliber rifle, albeit a short, slightly small one.

my friend has an airsoft gun that looks Exactly like a .45 caliber handgun. it doesn't shoot very fast or very hard, but the fact is that it LOOKS like one, if he had it on the dash of his car and was driving down a busy street and there had been a drive-by shooting recently he'd be stopped. when it was found that the gun was only a low-power airsoft gun he'd probably be let go, but it would've wasted several police hours. something that the government would not be too happy about.
