Marin County DA Pushes for tougher gun....everything

[GillaFunk]

Have an agenda much? Safe to say the Marin Co. DA is pretty much TOTALLY anti-anything gun.

"Marin County's district attorney is pushing for tougher laws when it comes to
people possessing toy guns that have been altered to look like real guns.

While it's already against the law to tamper with a toy gun and remove the orange tip manufacturers are required to place on them, there's no law that makes it illegal to simply possess that altered toy gun."

So, basically, we now have a situation where toy guns must be 'grandfathered in'.

I keep waiting to read a story about the first jack-hole that open carries his blaze orange-tipped AK or lever gun...

It's coming folks, and it will be interesting to watch the media (politician) spin (angle).

painting a real gun to look like a toy is already against the law.

I think what Bieberman is trying to here is basically make it impossible to own a toy gun. New guns are already required to have blaze orange tips. Now he wants to make it a chargeable offense for a kid to own a toy gun that doesn't have an orange tip. Thus, it will require the option to 'grandfather in' toy guns already owned that pre-date the orange tip requirement.

That way, cops dont get confused and show up at a home where a 6 year old, in full cammies and face paint is playing soldier on his property.

Just imagine what's going to happen this halloween when a kid like this is walking around and his toy gun doesn't have an orange tip: Cops will draw down and shoot him



Just more nanny-state bull-chit. Do it for the kids

Cool, 5 years ago would be handy to fix some things...

The all time definitive mockumentary about the Marin County mindset was a movie called "Serial". Hilarious, well worth the time. They really are pretty much the prototype of the California liberal idiot.

Just a guess but I think he/she is referring to this:

CA Penal Code:12020.3. Any person who, for commercial purposes, purchases, sells, manufacturers, ships, transports, distributes, or receives a firearm, where the coloration of the entire exterior surface of the firearm is bright orange or bright green, either singly, in combination, or as the predominant color in combination with other colors in any pattern, is liable for a civil fine in an action brought by the city attorney of the city or the district attorney for the county of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

So then, not "just the tip?"

It all seems commical, to make laws that say toy guns that cant LOOK like real guns, yet some people out there make real guns look (or are at least colored) like toys. Eventually, someone is going to get burned because some law will get mis-interprted and cause a whole up-roar about gun color.

Sounds like you can paint your gun bright green or orange all day long as long as it is not for "commercial purposes".
