Gun Control & RKBA

Actual *toys* do generally look very un-firearmlike, unless you pair them with a $1.99 can of black spray paint, as anyone who intends to carry one to use in a crime already does. And it's hard to make a rational case that armed robbers should be discouraged from using painted toys, as opposed to actual weapons.

Airsoft replicas, as opposed to toys, are intended to replicate the weight/feel/function of an actual firearm for safe indoor training in lieu of actual guns.

BB guns and pellet rifles are actual *weapons*, just not firearms, and are generally treated like weapons, even though the media often conflates them with toys. They are not.

That's a .22 with a muzzle velocity of 1000 ft/sec, comparable to a short-case rimfire firearm.

This one is a .50, suitable for hunting hogs and coyotes:
