New NYC Gun Laws Would Ban Paint Disguising Guns As Toys (http://www.officer.com/article/article.jsp?siteSection=1&id=30851)

Kelly did acknowledge that no painted guns are believed to have been used in city crimes or recovered by law enforcement officials, but said they learned of the paint kits through advertisements in gun enthusiast magazines.

More useless legislation. If....IF someone wanted to paint their gun all crazy colored, they could still go buy some krylon, right?

Yeah Wook...........That seems pretty stupid to me. I cant believe they dont have anything better to do.

Another feel good gun law that does absolutely nothing whatsoever top stop criminals. Like you said, anyone can go out and buy some paint. But why would someone who wants to shoot a cop even bother? They can just conceal their gun in a bag and the officer will never know what hit them. Do they not have enough useful legislation to pass that they can waste their time with this BS?

I'd be more worried about people painting fake guns to look real. Actual crimes are committed in that fashion. No criminal wants to run around with a pink gun. How weak is that?!?!
