Too bad no Thai law-maker ever asked himself why toy guns in developed countries always have key feautures giving away it is just a toy (red tip, smaller size, bright colors, etc).

Because then it would be a toy...damn it Bob! It's like the fake silver plated six shooter I carried around in a holster for years...exactly like the Lone Ranger's!

 

We tried to keep toy guns away from our son when he was a child. Guns aren't toys. We fought it for years. One day he chewed his toast into the shape of a gun and started using it. I bought him a toy gun...a really realistic one. 

 

Sorry...you're right.

There's a huge flaw with bb guns and guns in general. Carrying one has a tendency to make you a target for getting shot at :)

1000b fine and it is fine.

Alprazolam is supposed to make you chilled out and relaxed.  Did the reporter forget to mention Yaba?
