This is one of the most outlandish law on the books, a state that will the selling of real guns worries that a robber might use a toy for a stick up. I WISH TO GOD THEY WOULD USE A TOY, there would be no injuries if they decided to shoot. Those of us that grew up playing with these toys are not abnormal in any way. We used our imagination to PRETEND to play cops and robbers, cwboys and Indians and Soldiers of the US military against the enimies of WWII. What next perhaps it will be required to remove the thumb and first finger so that the age old finger and thumb gun cannot be pointed like a gun….I’ve got a finger I’d like to point at the idiots that support this law..no wonder the kids of today are so out of shape and overweight..they are not allowed to run and play the games that kept past generations outside playing until after the streetlights came on.

Forget the gun! I want a ‘Toy Cane’ that I can whip out and pretend shoot a person; that’s more fun than a gun. Also, I can smack a person from a longer distance then having to have close contact with a toy cap gun anyways. Jeez, I can’t believe I pay taxes for someone to sit on the Hill and come up with petty junk/shit laws like these. If my in-law, who’s actually a senator for ri, did something like this, I’d lose respect for her.
