Some wording on the above link might offend a few, another picture may illustrate the point better.
I do like the scene in "Snatch" where the guys have the replica guns and pull them on the dude who responds "And the fact that you've got 'REPLICA' written down the side of your gun, and the fact that I've got 'Desert Eagle .50' written on the side of mine should precipitate your..."
I once got shot in the eye at three feet with one of those plastic pellet guns, it looked just like that old 22 pistol that was really futuristic and cast in two halves.
anyway it hurt alot but I was fine.
the main point is to vilify firearms. If kids don't play with fake guns as kids they won't play with real ones as adults hopefully.
I have a much younger cousin and I've tried my best to teach him about firearms and gun safety, I started with a single shot air rifle worked him up to my drozd bb machinegun and when he comes to visit me in AZ hopefully we'll get to shoot some real ones.
It's up to all of us to call things like this what they are, act responsibly and let it be known to others around us what the 2nd amendment is for.
