Surrender Scheme for Imitation Guns in London - January 2008 A CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN LAUNCHED IN LONDON urging young men and boys to hand in their imitation firearms. A four-week surrender scheme will allow the guns to be handed in anonymously. Imitation guns represent the largest number of firearms carried on London's streets. The campaign will include advertisements featuring an invisible man. During the campaign police will accept other potentially lethal weapons and information about any imitation firearms. Officers will visit shops to make sure they are following new legislation which bans the sale of realistic imitation guns.The Brits really are terrified of guns.

I already told you about what's been going on here with guns. There is a ban on real-looking guns for children in the U.S. because there have been some incidents where young boys were shot by police officers who mistook the guns for real guns. So toy-makers make the guns with brighter coloring so that they're not mistaken for real guns, which lowers the incidence of accidental shootings. I'm still against the guy who is lobbying against JROTC programs in high school using rifles for marksmanship training. When I was in the ROTC program in high school, I remember the marksmanship training exercise (eventhough i was a horrible shot) being a great asset to the program. The scores help cadets as well as officers in JROTC programs become more efficent in marksmanship, should they decide to join the Armed Services.
absolutely ridiculous.
