Walsh having police confiscate replica guns

This from an internet tough guy who won't even post the town he lives in in his profile. [rofl] [rolleyes]

Come on over to Dorchester and show us how you'd clean up the joint, you know, go find some kids with fake guns and tell them what to do with them.

Really "tough guy"?
You think I need to post where I live to be taken seriously on the interweb?

The fact that you seriously think confiscating toy guns will "clean up Dorchester" tells me volumes about who you are and why you are friends with Marty & Evans. Why do you even own a real gun?

Toy guns are just as dangerous, you should carry one of these for protection:

So, I can CC a real gun but not a fake one? And if I'm busted, my parents have to go with me to the PD to get it back?

My parents passed away YEARS ago. I'm screwed.

No you're not. If the dead can vote, they can accompany you to the police station. Dust them off first.
 
I swear.....one of these days I am going to get on the train into Boston......with my hat, my boots, and two holsters on my hip...and a ripe banana in each holster!

Just to see how long it takes before some freaking, stupid Moonbat calls the cops!

I could either become famous on Youtube.....or I will get killed by the cops. It's a win win situation for me right now.

If I get killed by the cops, at least my kids can sue and have enough money to pay for my funeral.[thinking]

Anybody want to volunteer to come with me and take the video?[rofl][rofl]

Very recently the BPD cuffed and transported a Marine vet wearing his Marine jacket for violation of city ordinance 7-4.14 (Smoking Prohibited in Parks). He was transported for identification purposes because his wallet was in his office and it would have been way to dangerous to let him retrieve his ID there and then. After he was identified, his LTC was suspended (unsuitable person and Boston was not the issuing agency - his issuing agency can just give the LTC back if they choose to) and he was told he would be summonsed to court (BMC I think) for the violation. Oh yea, there was a group not 30 feet away openly smoking marijuana but the officers said that the 911 call identified him as the offensive party in the park.
So, yes, I think the BPD will do this.

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.

Seems more like a method of deniability... With all the heat on police shootings. When the next "unarmed good kid" gets wasted for waving a fake gun at someone the city can say they went above and beyond in attempting to protect dumbasses from themselves.

When talking about local issues? Yes.

Is use of replica firearms creating a public safety problem? Yes. How to solve it? Don't know.

In the heat of the moment, it's not easy to tell a replica from a real firearm. I remember a few years ago New Bedford Police were under scrutiny for shooting a guy who pulled an air pistol on them. Guess which of these is a real AR.

There have been several examples in CA. CA has a new law that goes into effect in Jan that all toy guns need to be all orange or all purple. That should solve things because no one has a colored real pistol [rolleyes]. But it's CA, so who can expect anything but crazy crap from that govt.

The legislation proposed in the House by Rep Cullinane of Boston would not only would ban realistic "toy" guns but pretty much all BB & pellet gun sales & possession in the state (as best I can tell from reading the bill, I am not a lawyer). BB & pellet guns are not 'toys' and can seriously injure or kill and thus do not normally have the ridiculous orange tip.

I believe AirSoft guns in Canada have to be made from clear plastic. Of course that can be painted, as well.

Wrong.

"The major change from the law in early 2014 is that, to prevent accidental accusations of airsoft being real firearms, all Airsoft guns must be not used or seen in a public area or anywhere outside private property or an offical Airsoft field. This just means that Airsofters need to carry their guns in bags, cases or anything that prevents the gun to be seen publically.The laws of children under the age of 18 owning an Airsoft gun still applies and they must now be supervised by someone over said age if they wish to use an Airsoft gun.
The laws regarding FPS and color of the body of the gun remain the same."

You and I know theses are feel good ideas the Boston city council is passing so they can say they are "doing something" about gun violence. What would be a good idea is having some program where kids could play paint ball and have fun and get in contact with the cops and generate a relationship. My guess is all these minority teens who will have their bb guns taken, etc. will be offended by these confiscations and have an even more bitter relationship with cops.
