Posting not because he was shot dead. Posting because he was a 13-year-old robber.

Violent country.

When Trump is elected he will allow more guns.

The US is a cowboy town where every Tom, Dick and Harry owns a firearm. If I am a police officer, I will be ready to defend myself regardless of whether I think that a gun aimed at me by a juvenile may be a replica or the Real McCoy. Life is at risk in such situations, where a second of hesitancy may result in the officer's death.

problem are the blacks and latinos...............not the guns..............there's a reason why the blacks account for 13% of the population but account for over 60% of gun-related crimes................

the Swiss has higher gun ownership..............but you hardly hear of gun-related crimes from the white people..........

It is foolish to play with toy guns in the U.S. Aiming the replica at an armed police officer is dicing with death.

Your idea increases the chances of your children or grandchildren finding and playing with your guns.
