Kid in Baltimore turns toward police with gun in hand. Cops shoot him. Turns out to be a bb gun. Sjw posing as reporters go schizo over cops shooting kid with bb gun.

Cops put two guns on table. Real one and bb gun. Ask reporters to tell which is which.

Reporters can not tell which is which. But they think cops are supposed to be able to from distance.

BB guns and toy guns should not look like real guns.

So what means were used in most of the Chicago murders?

Illegally possessed firearms. And no gun buyback program would change that.

And parents who let their kids buy such guns are idiots for doing so. My 8 year old loves airsoft stuff and fake guns to play with at the playground. He goes to toyguncity.com to get the guns he plays with, but I have to approve them. Guns that -even slightly - resemble real firearms are, of course, his favorite. But he's moans when I tell him there's no way he's getting them. He's only allowed guns that are obviously fake. We made one deal where he was able to get a black gun and I spray painted it different colors to make it an obvious fake.

...I know a lot of idiots that have multiple guns and the way they "play" with them pisses me off! I was trained to respect guns, but I've seen too many people get reckless with them...getting drunk and shooting at stupid stuff...shooting at the sky for no reason...their need to treat them like toys.

I feel the same way. When I see such activity, and I have, I question whether that person should own a gun, even if they are otherwise completely sane. I wonder if people who shoot their guns into the air realize the force that bullet comes back down to the ground with, especially with rounds like .223. Maybe if it hits them on the head on the return trip, they'll be more careful....if they survive.

Some years back, I saw an extremely drunk man shooting a .22 at some trees after bragging to the land owner how he would shoot any poachers if they entered his land that night. He didn't even see the man in the boat on a pond just beyond the trees. That kind of stupidity is what I'm talking about.

And then there are people holstering cocked pistols that have no hammer safety mechanism (or worse yet, sticking such cocked pistols in the front of their pants).

I'm very pro gun, but I always preface gun ownership with the word "responsible".

Aren't BB guns, Airsoft and fake guns supposed to have a brightly colored piece on the muzzle so that LE can determine at a glance, "real from toy"?

Australia data shows gun controls a huge success 20 years after mass shooting
SYDNEY | By Byron Kaye and Wayne Cole

"Australia on Thursday marked the 20th anniversary of a mass shooting which led to strict gun controls that have in turn led to a huge decline in gun murders, undermining claims in the United States that such curbs are not the answer.

"The chances of being murdered by a gun in Australia plunged to 0.15 per 100,000 people in 2014 from 0.54 per 100,000 people in 1996, a decline of 72 percent, a Reuters analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics figures showed.

"In 1996, Australia had 311 murders, of which 98 were with guns. In 2014, with the population up from about 18 million to 23 million, Australia had 238 murders, of which 35 were with guns.

"It was the April 28, 1996, shooting deaths by a lone gunman of 35 people in and around a cafe at a historic former prison colony in Tasmania that prompted the government to buy back or confiscate a million firearms and make it harder to buy new ones.

"The country has had no mass shootings since.

"The figures directly contradict assertions of most leading U.S. presidential candidates who have either questioned the need to toughen gun laws or directly denounced Australia's laws as dangerous.

"In a January 2015 tweet, Republican front runner Donald Trump wrote "Fact – the tighter the gun laws, the more violence. The criminals will always have guns". A year later, Republican hopeful Ted Cruz blamed Australia's gun laws on a rise in sexual assault.

"Democrat front runner Hillary Clinton has meanwhile ruled out an Australian-style gun buyback, while Democrat hopeful Bernie Sanders has rejected the need for tougher gun controls despite a gun murder rate of 3.4 per 100,000.

"The U.S. National Rifle Association has attacked the Australian laws as "not the definition of common-sense".

"Philip Alpers, an associate professor of University of Sydney's School of Public Health, who studies gun ownership and violence, said Australia's laws had had "demonstrable success".

"We have the most comprehensive suite of gun laws (in the world) and it would be a great shame to start whittling those down," he said.

"Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull marked the anniversary by saying U.S. gun violence showed why Australia would keep its laws intact.

"The rate of U.S. gun deaths shows "what happens when you have very little if any restrictions on the purchase of weapons like that", he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp."

RICTER...your're definitely out numbered in this thread...THANKS for going into the "LIONS DEN"...it's good to hear both sides!

if you want to see what SERIOUS gun control looks like just cross that southern border. Even knives are illegal.
