Stop making Toy guns look realistic.

The Issue

Children are being killed because Toy guns that they play with resemble real guns. Innocent play is turning into a deadly game. We need to protect our children by getting manufacturers to stop making cap and pellet look like the real thing. The orange tips on the guns can come off or be covered by dirt and present a catastrophe for them and others around them.

Tamir Rice was a twelve year old boy who was shot and killed by police because he was holding a Toy gun that looked like a real pistol. There was another incident in Baltimore where a teenager who was carrying a BB gun was injured by police who thought he had a replica gun.

What if it was your family, or friend? Our children our are future. Let's invest in them by banning Toy guns that look real. They have the right to grow up.
