danielost Posted October 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) a pop tart gun or holding your finger like a gun can get you arrested in Atlanta. this is out rages. the state of George earlier this year made it illegal not to own a gun. now the city of Atlanta has made it illegal to own a toy gun. For too long we’ve seen it happening in our schools. Zero-tolerance policies make pop-tart guns a punishable offense. And no longer is it acceptable for children to put their index and middle fingers together to create a “make-pretend” blaster without fear of punitive action. sorry I am not able to provide a link.

You could always write the link. This sounds like one of your made-up 'facts'. There's probably a small kernel of truth somewhere in there, and you've confabulated the rest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless someone, preferably daniel, can come up with a link about how this is made illegal, I might just have to assume it's a falsehood made up to wind up the members here on UM.

I don't think he does it deliberately. He just gets ideas in his head, and once there they take on a life of their own. actually I can't see the whole link to write it out either. Try a search. I did and came up with nothing, as expected. If you find anything, let us know. (NB. There is one very small town in Georgia that added compulsory gun ownership to it's ordinance. But that's no the whole of Georgia, is it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Link of Hyrule Posted October 12, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 12, 2014 In Australia, replica guns have been illegal for as long as I've remembered. Even items that look like they might be real guns are outlawed in public, except under certain conditions. I used to belong to a Star Wars costuming club and one of my friends from that club was down in Melbourne for an event. He was walking through a shopping centre with his Stormtrooper E-11 blaster rifle in a bag on his back, the butt of the gun sticking out the top. He was tackled by security and arrested for carrying a replica firearm. Ironically, the judge gave my friend a certain number of hours of Community Service as punishment, and since the costuming club we belong to does charity events for sick children it's approved for him to do Community Service with. So for carrying his weapon, his punishment was to carry his weapon dressed as a Stormtrooper, exactly as what he would have been doing anyway. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted October 12, 2014 #19 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I don't know what a pop tart gun is ? There was an incident, I'm not sure where though, that a young school kid chewed his pop tart snack into the shape of a gun and pretended to shoot it. The little kid was then expelled from class and it made the news (due to being so stupid no doubt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gummug Posted October 12, 2014 #25 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) nyc banned realistic toy guns years ago, not only that nyc prohibits anyone from making real guns look like they are toys. I have to admit, I think it is wrong to try to make a real gun look like a toy (by painting the barrel orange like an airsoft pistol or whatever). I can't imagine anyone even wanting to do that unless they are a criminal... edited for typos Edited October 12, 2014 by Gummug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
