Explain to me how a police officer is supposed to recognize this as a toy, especially in the dark, when it is pointed at them?

bgz - It is real. It's a Glock. That's the point. Firearms are not toys, and should not be treated as such.

Perhaps you forgot about the story where a teenage boy pointed a BB gun at a cop.

Ok, if that's a real gun it should be illegal.

And kids don't paint toy guns to look like real ones. That why all toy guns are banned from most Comic-con conventions.

I am first and foremost an advocate of gun safety education. I grew up in a house with lots of pistols & rifles in it. We were taught from a very early age how to safely handle and shoot all of them. When you grow up with them you learn not to do stupid stuff like pointing them at anything you don't want to kill or destroy. fog

Exactly! My girls know how to shoot pistols as well as compound bows, they also were taught safety.

Got it. It all makes sense.

Could be worse, you could have to deal with the idea that some day people will have hand held EMP rail guns. The technology has a long way to go before it reaches that point, but that’s because it is barely in its infancy. Don’t believe me, look up Navy Rail gun. It will have an immediate impact on your idea of an awesome gun.

Amen, brother... my son got his own gun when he was 11. He left it here when he left home, but we passed it along to another discerning young man to enjoy.

when done well, gun safety can be pretty effective -- been 45 years since I went to class....and I remember some (most?) of the commandments like it was yesterday.....treat every gun as if it were loaded; keep muzzle in safe direction; don't point at anything you don't intend to shoot; keep finger out of trigger guard until/unless you're prepared to shoot; beware of target - and beyond....I don't remember the instructor, or any particulars, but they sure got those things hammered into my brain.

Was probably only an hour or two long class....should be mandatory ....for....? IDK...gun registration maybe? or kids in homes with guns? something


That gun in OP is nuts....I'd have never guessed it came out of the factory that way....fn stupid

I would hope that an officer would NOT recognize or question if that is a toy at all. Sad part is they might.

If you would have read the article, then you would have found that although the base was made by Glock, it was made by the Texas gun company Precision Syndicate LLC. Not just a company that provides cerakote, but a company than manufacturers custom firearms.

Find them on FB at: https://www.facebook.com/Precision-Syndicate-LLC-961512027222143/

Their website appears to be down: https://precisionsyndicate.com

If you want to have a serious discussion about gun control, it must start at home if you are a gun owner.

Just as one viewer commented on PS's FB page: For those that think this is illegal or immoral due to its toy like appearance and fear that child will mistake this for a toy, proper gun storage and education are key and if you don't want to teach your children the difference or store then properly then you are at fault.

I will continue to stand behind my original statement: Firearms are not toys, and should not be treated as such.

I would not want to be a police officer and have this pointed at me, especially in the dark, and have to make a split-second decision to determine if it's real gun, or just a toy that someone painted over the orange barrel.

it is not illegal to remove or alter the orange tip of a toy or airsoft gun. Nor can I find that is it illegal to paint the tip of a real firearm orange.

IMHO the type of treatment pictured above to a firearm crosses a very scary line.

Lighten up Alice... police are going to shoot you if you have anything in your hand making a threatening motions.

The fact that enthusiasts want to mod some weapons, isn't going to make the world a less safe place. The red and black ones they had on their site were pretty awesome.

Not to mention, people who can afford custom machining are probably not going to be out in public waving it around with one hand and holding a 40 oz in the other.

Again.....as I stated the manufacture of Glock....is Glock where this gun did not come manufactured that way. Now sure it was custom made by a custom shop, they do not manufacture guns they customize tbem...

Reading a lot of these posts of late....I now know why kids are such sheltered snowflakes now a days..... look mom the bad man customized his gun!! It's a gun....Maybe....just maybe teach your children to not point guns at things they don't want to shoot and if people are dumb enough to point a real or fake gun at a cop....they are going to get shot. Simple concept but no let's just ban everything so stupid people can't do stupid sh1t.

You may not be able to stand on the 2nd amendment, I'm afraid.

However, I think you could assert protection under the 9th amendment, which I believe, grants individuals the right to be really ignorant.

I think the "custom skinning" probably originated in video games where you can get custom skins for your weapons and that train of thought transferred over to the real.

I think those most likely to re-skin their weapons are primarily in the competitive scene where image is important (and those that are fans of the competitive scene).

I would be interested to see the stats on the number of police shootings where the victims had cosmetic mods...

I'm guessing the percentage would be a number very close to zero.

This is custom.

I have no problem with it. It's a bad ass job done for a big Nintend fan.

I treat and teach my children the same safety rules real or not.

Carl, I get your point but I find it the inverse of people fearing long guns that have black plastic calling them "assault".

I am willing to bet that gun will never be taken to school or used in criminal activity. People that want guns banned are people that don't own them and vice versa. I have never owned a gun and never will but I could care less about banning them, maybe making it harder to acquire or forcing some sort of safety class on purchasers but banning would be ignorance on my part because it does not affect me. Besides it is the person that pulls the trigger that commits the act not the triggered that is pulled.

Wtf is wrong with you guys Nintendo never made a zapper that looked like a glock. That does not even remotely look like the real zapper albeit that's probably the most badass zapper themed pistol I've ever seen.

Ignorance is a huge problem here in America. At this point in time, I have given up on the masses. Give it 50 years, all the Ignorant individuals will finally have brought about their own destruction. Seeing as how they are eating Tide Pods And orchestrating mass shootings, it shouldn’t be long until only the ones with common sense are left. Perhaps Darwin was onto something after all.....😂🤣
