Walsh having police confiscate replica guns

[Dr. CCW]

http://www.wcvb.com/news/mayor-wals...ium=FBPAGE&utm_campaign=WCVB Channel 5 Boston

The second to last sentence is hilarious. "Replica firearms in public spaces will be confiscated by police and the owner will have to pick it up at a district station." THEY'D BE DEAD! Why would the cops give it back if they are banned?

 

[Infinite Jester]

Like these? I mean, where does this end?

 

[kalash]

Can I carry a cap gun with my LTC?

This is an over reach and reaction as usual. I will tell you this some one points or tries to point one of those things at me or those around me, They will get an instant and appropriate response. The ones I remember were "Before" the orange muzzle, Also when the threat of a firearm is coming into play, looking for the orange muzzle is not going to be a save all.

More stupid gun laws in MA. I'm shocked.
Orange tips definitely are *not* an absolute indicator of a "safe" gun. Now that cerakoting is so common, it's always a little tempting to have a gun cerakoted in some really ridiculous colors.

Why do we focus on saving idiots. If someone uses one of these and gets killed it really is natural selection at its finest

Guess I'll be ordering that replica MP40 to hang on the wall before companies stop shipping them here.

As of today, Boston is now a "Toy Gun Free Zone"

I stay away from Boston....too many sceery fake guns there. I can never feel safe

 

[GlockJock]

Maybe Marty got the toy gun idea from something Channel 7's Jadiann Thompson whispered into his ear during last week's meet and greet?...

Just sayin'...

Talking head news babes are a dime a dozen. This one comes off rather skanky to me

she's hot, but why does Walsh always dress like a leprechaun ?

 

[Martlet]

Are cops really going to do this?

 

[GJH86]

So the mayor is telling cops to steal lawful owned property now? Smh

 

[atilla]

Are cops really going to do this?

i hope not, but there's boot-lickers that wear the uniform so it's not totally unreasonable to think the majority will.

remember that video awhile back of the cop waving that toy gun around in that dude's face filming him?

Surely you know property confiscation by LE is the norm these days

 

[W.E.C]

The glob story is calling it passed legislation .
apparently maharty has his own solons now.

 

[Prepper]

Does it have to be a replica of a real gun? How about a replica of a Star Trek phaser? Someone should try this out.

What's possibly worse: the ever-increasing sheep population tell each other by the thousands on social media that "confiscation" of any type by LE is "probably a good thing" cuz, after all, it'll "probably keep us, like, um, y'know, like safer dude..." (etc etc).
Of course, try "confiscating" their smartphones and laptops etc and they'd scream about the 1st and 4th Amendments so loudly that the Glob would have already been on the line with Justice Ruth begging for an emergency, immediate ruling against the....(blah blah)

What video? What cop? That actually never happened, silly. There was nothing to see, it was a tiny misunderstanding followed by "Oops, sorry bout that."
Move along.

lol, does ex post facto ring a bell? Outlawing and confiscating legally purchased property without compensation? WTF are these morons thinking?

What if is a tiny little GI Joe replica? Are there any logical parameters to this silly rule?

a tiny threat is still a threat. zero tolerance, maintain a cat-like state of alertness.

You'd better not make gun gestures with your finger, either. Prepare for tazing.

 

[GlockJock]

Meanwhile, you can walk into a hundred different stores in the malls around MA (including in Boston) and walk out with swords (Samurai style too! "Banzai!!!"), bayonets, knives, etc etc... Haven't been to one recently so I'm not sure if they currently require an FA-10 and/or a background/fingerprint check, etc prior to completing your purchase or not....

[GJH86]

Hopefully the cops will utilize discretion and nullify this decree by the all powerful mayor Marty

 

[bigblue]

Toy swords should be banned for the chillun!

 

[Bfatz]

Where should I turn this in?

 

[invaliduser]

Confiscating hands the sharia way

 

[not new guy]

Not to worry, I hear Marty is a good guy who's open to conversation. Him and the chief both.
