BANNED!
BANNED!
Atlantic City officials have voted to ban the sale of toy guns.
While they’re just for play, some look extremely realistic and have even been used in crimes – that’s why police are trying to get them off the streets.
NOT BANNED
The toy gun ordinance which was passed early Wednesday evening bans the sale and possession of an imitation firearm – unless it’s a bright color, clearly indicating that it’s not real.
One council member says he’s gotten calls from Philadelphia and Washington D.C. and he hopes the idea catches on.

All these toy guns you saw are for sale on Amazon. Does that mean Amazon will be charged with gun trafficking if they ship them to Atlantic City?
Are the politicians insane? I get toy guns have been used in crimes, the same goes for crowbars, baseball bats, knives, etc. Are those banned as well? Are criminals going to respect the toy gun ban?
Seriously, is this how Atlantic City makes itself a tourist destination? Let’s compare Las Vegas to Atlantic City:
Atlantic City: Bankrupted casinos
Atlantic City: “Smoking would still be permitted in enclosed smoking lounges where there would be no gambling.”
