(So kids just see guns and they become criminals! Good idea - ban TV and Hollywood too! - How stupid can politicians get? - Unlimited stupidity?)
ST. PAUL - The City Council on Wednesday approved a ban on the public display of real-looking replica guns.
Council member Lee Helgen proposed the ban because of a recent increase in juveniles carrying airsoft guns. A public hearing was held on the ordinance last week, but nobody testified against it. Breaking the ban is a misdemeanor.
A representative of the gun industry said it was "common sense" not to display fake guns that look real.
The guns must now be painted a bright color to make it easier for police and others to identify them.
