NYC lunacy...minor update

i just clipped this from the APG ezine newsletter...

MORE NYC "IMITATION GUN" FALLOUT. Staten Island Paintball Center was
cited earlier this month for selling an "imitation firearm," which
was a paintball marker that happened to be black. "Legal" colors of
paintball markers are red, yellow, and purple. Also cited in this
recent wave of idiocity: The Sports Authority for selling a black
Spyder TL Plus and Tippmann markers. The Department of Consumer
Affairs has subpoenaed numerous companies for lists of stores in the
area that may sell paintball markers. These companies include: Kingman
International, Tippmann Pneumatics, and National Paintball Supply.
Fines are being used to enforce the city policy against the sale of
"imitation" firearms, and more stores are expected to be bullied by
the DCA in weeks to come.<end>

i hate think what else they think of as "toys".....ugh,,,
btw..apparently its perfectly okay to buy a purple paintball gun in NYC..so lets see, the black ones are horrible , dangerous intimidating, and violent..but a purple one is just ducky, and the DCA (dept of consumer affairs) says "colors" are okay.. paintball is just a new source of income for them, but the scarry part is apparently they have to power to define. or redefine the law (or think they do anyhow) , as ref by the "toy " thing..maybe ill decide my car is a "toy" and therefore i dont need insurance or a lisence to drive it...but oh, i need a NYC appointment to a dept of whatever first...then i can do what i want...
okay, rant over..what do you all think?
