CAN BAN TOY GUNS. leave them on the shelves. I am sure this kid did not think the Officers were
talking to him, he turned around an looked as any 'reasonable person' would have. I raised 5 sons I had personal objection
to toy guns going bang bang at me. Not even water guns. They would go out and make guns from tree branches and I would
destroy them. Around 10-12 they had no interest anymore. I see too many children with real looking guns in the neighborhood.
All i can wonder is what in the hell these parents must be thinking. My two cents.
