A plan is moving forward to make sure New Jersey law enforcement officers are able to tell the difference between real firearms and a toys. The New Jersey Assembly has passed a measure that prohibits the sale of toy guns and imitation firearms that appear to be genuine. To set toy guns apart from real guns, it requires them to be some color other than black, blue, silver, or aluminum. Toy guns would have to be marked with non-removable orange stripes. It also sets requirements for the size and shape of their barrels.

| And, where is the evidence that this is a problem of such magnitude that it would justify government yet again sticking its meddlesome nose into private businesses? |

Oh boy, the realistic looking guns I had as a kid in the 1960s!!!!! I'd get in a world of hurt today if I was a kid playing with those revolvers that fired spring powered plastic bullets, those semiauto with roll caps...... those lever actions that looked like a 1873 Winchester.... those were the days!
And no red caps on the muzzles!
And the police never shot me, either! |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
