Boston Bans Guns… Toy Guns, That is

The city of Boston has decided to ban replica guns in public spaces. Apparently, city leaders believe toy guns pose a risk to public safety, even when they’re in the hands of children.
“It is up to us to work together as a community on every angle of the gun issue to keep our neighborhoods safe,” said Boston Mayor Martin Walsh in a press release.

“The safety of Boston’s residents and visitors is a top priority, and I am proud to sign this ordinance banning replica handguns in public spaces which will help us in our larger mission of raising community awareness and engagement to remove replica firearms from the hands of our youth,” continued Walsh.

The ordinance will allow police to confiscate any toy gun they see in public. Individuals caught with the prohibited toy may be able to get their property back by picking it up at the district station. Minors caught with toy guns will have to have a parent or guardian pick it up at the station.
