New York City is forcing toy gun retailers to pay $300,000+ in fines. Why? Because they look “too real” and do not paint their weapons to New York City’s guidelines.
“State law prohibits the sale of imitation guns in realistic colors such as black, blue, silver, or aluminum, unless it has a non-removable one-inch-wide orange stripe running down both sides of the barrel and the front end of the barrel,” according to Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office.
However, in NYC the laws are even stricter making all retailers paint the toys entirely in a neon color. Some only retailers are getting around the law by refusing to sell their toys to any NY residents.
