The ATF says they can easily be retro-fitted to become operational machine guns. They're going to destroy them. The inmates are running the asylum.

Maybe one day they will remake "A Christmas Story" and instead of a Red Ryder, Ralphie will lust after a squirt gun instead.

Well then I won't be surprised when I read about ATF raids on ToysRUs.
The "orange tip" was missing off these toy guns.....

Only in America folks....

And we're paying their salaries to confiscate toy guns while drug cartels and their weapons move freely within the country.

Insanity has reached epic levels it appears. Yes the ToysRUs raids will be next and liberals will of course claim how it will make everybody safer like clockwork I'm sure.

Nope, Obama doesn't want to take our guns, his czars, however, do and come up with creative ways to get that slipperty slope rolling.

ATF will next confiscate all gun pictures and photos or prohibit them from being posted on gun forums as the same guy who can convert an airsoft into a machine gun would be able to copy the parts from the picture and make, what else? a machine gun.

I know Somerville high school in NJ removed the flint lock rifle from the hands of their 'pioneer' logo.
You could have heard that old buckskin clad pioneer screaming ....."when they pry a picture of my cold dead hands.......". Ever wonder how the old pioneer got those buckskins????


Gang members take note.... paint the tip of your guns orange and claim, if caught committing a crime, you picked up what you thought was the toy gun. Oops!

While the law considers the use of a toy gun during a crime the same as a real gun, the jury or judge might go easier on your sentencing if they really believed you intended to use the toy gun so as not to endanger anyone.

You go to the doctor or reasonable facsimile masquerading as a medical professional for a belly ache and you find yourself in the hospital waking up from surgey where your trigger finger was removed. Oops!

Only in Obamaworld does the insane and unbelievable become the reality.... even more so than under previous administrations.

Next thing you know pop tarts chewed into the shape of a gun will get you in trouble. Sorry, that is too far out for you to believe.

this part sounds particularly crazy:

Quote:
But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives seized a shipment of 30 in October. That shipment is worth around $12,000 and the ATF is promising to destroy the entire shipment.
air-soft guns that cost 400 bucks each?
