Quote:At least 184 people, nearly all children, suffered eye injuries over the recent Eid al-Fitr holiday from toy weapons that fire BB pellets and rubber shot, health officials said. In response, authorities have banned toy guns.
"The Afghan Interior Ministry orders all police forces to confiscate toy guns, which can lead to physical and psychological damage to people," the order read.
It didn't elaborate on what psychological damage the toy guns can cause. The noise of gunfire is almost unmistakable to most Afghans, and unlike in the U.S., there have been no prominent cases of police officers here killing children brandishing toy Kalashnikovs or plastic pistols.
I loled... so... how about banning real guns?
When I was a young teen Toy companies made full size plastic replica cap guns, fully realistic in detail. I had a 38 revolver, and a 9mm. After having the cops called on me, having him draw his gun on me, shitting my pants, explain to him it was a toy, I lost my interest in both toy gun and real guns.
