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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
