This insane. I had to check if those were real.
They are.
What the fuck.
That’s definitely the how’s it going…in fact…

We had toy guns in the 70s that absolutely looked real. Hell, I had a BB/dart gun that would pass for a 1911, even up close. Heavy metal too. I have several real guns that weigh less, and worse, some look like toys. The kids got a demonstration of that reality.

It’s ok those kids are all AI generated… So this guy can sell 3D printed fake guns to actual kids.
God I fucking hate it here.

It’s not legal to kill kids, but you can buy 'em a toy gun and then call the cops about suspicious activity in the area…
Can’t wait to see the first incident of a school cop killing a 2nd-grader who was bringing his toy to show-and-tell.

In the 90’s (before Columbine) making finger guns was an automatic suspension at my elementary school. I can only imagine how things are now.

I will never understand why Americans treat guns as toys.

Because most americans are just privileged babies.

I need to look this up. I’d use my actual 1911 .45 but then people I live with would get nervous!

Oh! What kind? I’m a 1911 fanatic. Got a legit Colt .45, RIA .45, .22 and a .22WMR.

A Springfield WWII officer replica in blue steel. I need to replace the iron sights though, cause they’re basically unusable sights from WWII.
If I was baller enough my dream would be a Staccato 9mm or similar 2011 double stack. I’m craving a handgun with a red dot mount!

Aaaahhhhmurica.
There’s something deep in that culture that I can’t find the words for.
That picture though, pretty much sums it up.

I’m not American and I’d love to have one of these.

Imagine your kids get accustomed to playing with these, then someday they find mom’s real 9mm that looks just like the toy.

Easy to imagine. In their rush to make instruments of death less scary looking, they’ve made them less scary looking which seems like a bad thing, to me.

Got my wife a pink Bersa Thunder for Christmas.
Know why? She doesn’t feel as apprehensive about shooting it, won’t touch my Colt .45 because heavy and black and scary. They kick about the same since the Colt is much heavier.
As I said in another comment, my kids got a lesson on guns that look like toys. Hell, 2 of mine are Tiffany blue. (It matches my kitchen, OK?)

That would be irresponsible parenting and irresponsible gun ownership.

I’m sure that will provide lots of solace to the family.
