Downplaying it by saying can have tragic consequences. Just say you can get shot and killed for doing that.

What are you complaining about?
This is literally a problem with a self contained solution.

Reminds me of the Florida pair (father and son) who went on a 'drive by' with a paintball gun - kid (10?) got shot...then ran over by his dad.
Yeah, it'll sort itself out.

I hope the person who uses deadly force against perceived deadly force gets a metal rather than jail time.

Not in todays world. Shoot the wrong vintage go to jail for a long time.

That is unfortunately very true. Some people are more equal that others in the eyes of many people administering the laws.

To quote Orwell’s Animal Farm:
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Yeah, he's a different guy. Whatever it takes to be in front of a camera is his focus these days.

 

[surrealone]

Grrr, I live in that area. If someone pointed the above at me, that could end very, very badly, as that absolutely looks real.

My wife reminded me of this less than 2 months back …

Florida boy, 10, shot after dad agreed to take him on paintball 'drive-by'

A 10-year-old Miami boy was shot after his father took him on a faux drive-by shooting with a paintball gun — and a frightened homeowner returned fire with real bullets, according to authorities.

A 10-year-old Miami boy was shot after his father took him on a faux drive-by shooting with a paintball gun — and a frightened homeowner returned fire with real bullets, according to authorities.

Michael Williams, 26, allegedly gave in to his son’s pleas late Sunday to take him on a paintball "drive-by shooting," where police said the boy fired off the unlethal rounds into a crowd gathered in the front yard of an Opa-locka home, the Miami Herald reported.

But the homeowner, identified as Gregory Barns, thought the gunfire was real and that "he and his family were under attack" — leading him to return fire with a real round, striking the boy, police said.

"tragic" is kind of subjective

 

[Have gun-will travel]

Orange county Sheriff Pendigraff shot and killed a guy with a toy gun several years ago. . I use to live in Person county. There are many folks in Person county that would shoot these damn idiots . I hate to say it but someone will die if this "game"does not stop.
