Makes sense to me, especially if it helps reduce shooting tragedies involving children.

It's just Avian camouflage paint.

They need to paint his rifle pink so he can blend in with the dresses at dress barn and question his sexual orientation.

Okay, now what is stopping the kids from taking their brightly colored imitation guns and painting them to look more 'realistic'? Just asking.

That just might depend on whether you're a giver or a taker.

Responsible parents. It all comes down to adult supervision with parents/guardians who teach their children safety and common sense.

Donna, exactly. I grew up with toy guns, not real, and was still taught proper gun safety and etiquette. I taught my son proper gun safety and etiquette. He knew at 6 years old how to behave with a gun, even a toy gun.

That's assuming responsible parents and you know what happens when we assume.
