Toy gun ban: This is pleasantly insane

http://news.bbc.co.uk/low/english/uk_politics/newsid_1207000/1207355.stm Some toy guns could be made illegal if the government goes ahead with its intention to ban replica firearms. Home Office minister Charles Clarke revealed that such a move was possible when he spoke at an exhibition of seized fake weapons, which included imitation Uzi machine pistols and an SA-80 assault rifle. Such replicas can be bought in shops or by mail order and are frequently used by criminals. The minister said replicas posed a "real threat" to society.
