NEW YORK, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- A New York discount store was ordered to pay a $30,000 fine for stocking toy guns that were deemed to be too realistic.

Andrew Tilem, lawyer for the odds-and-ends store called 99¢ Target, said the fine amounts to $5,000 for each of the six toy sheriff sets put up for sale at the store in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

Tilem said the vender for the toys, JMD All Star of New Jersey, told owner Jamal Ahmed the sets, which included orange plastic-tipped toy guns, were legal for sale and one of the store's managers failed to inform the owner when a city inspector wrote the store up for stocking the items.

City regulations bar the sale of realistic toy weapons.

Tilem said Ahmed missed a hearing due to not being informed by the manager and the city imposed the $30,000 fine, which he described as "a really, really abusive penalty."
 
This fine is pure hogwash. Does that gun ^ look "too real" to you?

From THIS link:

The rule is designed to prevent cops from mistaking the toys for the real thing — and shooting an innocent kid — and to thwart criminals from using them to commit crimes.

So " innocent" kids cannot obey police orders to drop the obvious plastic gun (with the orange tip), then the police have to shoot them. Poor innocent kids my foot, at that point take 'em out. Bad for the gene pool anyways.

But a Consumer Affairs spokeswoman countered, “Realistic-looking imitation guns are illegal and dangerous, and just last week, a 15-year-old in Texas was killed while holding one of these guns.”

This " Consumer Affairs spokeswoman" needs to find a new job and the city inspector fined 30K for stupidity on the job.

Yes.
 
Another case of legislating common sense out of society. Lets see - back in the day how many kids got killed because they pointed a cap gun at a cop? Some of those cap guns back in the 70s looked pretty real. What's next? Fines for painting a real gun any bright color because an officer might think it was a toy?

Back when I was a kid,there wasn't kids willing to kill cops like there is today
And the cops were ,maybe a little easier going.Worse they would have done is kick a kids *** for pointing a toy gun at them.
Now you have kids killing each other (right across the street for my house in Lakewood) and cops like the guy in Texas.

What ya gunna do? Remember it is in New York City
 
has NYC never herd of paint?? A cop sees a low life pointing a shotgun that has a red muzzle painted on it, he automatically drops his guard???
 
The idiots in NYC deserve all of this if they aren't smart enough to vote these ash hats out of office.

Boycott New York,take money out of there pockets and they MAY get the idea.
