I "Googled" a report of a shooting of a teenager who confronted a SWAT team with a realistic "modified" BB gun that looked like a 9mm handgun and came across this page. Turns out the modification is simply painting the end of the gun black - it seems all toy replicas sold in the US must have the end of the barrel painted red to avoid incident.
I hope this website is just being sarcastic, as the data is very disturbing. There are a lot of people in the USA though - I wonder how many own guns?
God - I'm so glad only the serious criminals have guns here.........
America’s Shooting Gallery, 1.13
America’s Shooting Gallery is our daily look at all the gun violence ravaging the country. It’s ugly, but someone’s gotta see it.
* FL: Student threatens police SWAT team with modified pellet gun, gets shot for his trouble
* IL: Student among 3 hurt in shooting near South Side Chicago school
* MA: Police investigate shooting homicide in the “safest city in America.” Still think nothing’s wrong with the gun situation in this country?”
* MA: 18-year-old killed in Dorchester. Same killing or different from the Dorchester killing earlier this week? Who can tell anymore…
* MA: Teenager injured in shooting near schoolbus
* MI: Shots fired inside Detroit high school
* NC: Woman arrested in shooting
* FL: Three arrested in fatal drive-by shooting

Yep - I'm just happy for the thugs and gangs, and selected Police having handguns.
