scenario...your views?

[twinkles**stars]

How would you react to this scenario?

Driving along a road you see a young boy in school uniform on his way to school waving a gun and knife at passing traffic.

Would you ignore him or take steps to ensure the gun and knife are 'toys' and not the real deal?

eBay has nearly 1400 listings for guns rifles in toys and hobbies. There are rubber band guns which surprised me thinking of the damage a rubber band could do flying at people's faces.

And there are 36 spud guns. 😄

Imagine what it would cost to buy them all back......

toyrus website. search guns, found these, not one has any likeness to a real gun, so can be sold. And if one of these was waved on the side of the road, Im sure no one would think they are real

Check ebay.......lots there.........no paper work either....

Or, are all there sellers breaking the law?........lol.

I'm not anti-gun. Have handled and fired more than one type but I support Twinkle's decision.  You will find a lot of responsible adults are not anti-gun.

I quickly scanned about 10 pages of results and didnt see any that could have been mistaken for real guns. Maybe I missed them , most of the realistic looking ones looked like they were scaled down models.

lol, funnily enough, I'm sitting here typing about guns and there's someone firing one in the bush behind me, must be some foxes about.
