Brickbat: Gun Control
26th March 2012
New York City’s Consumer Affairs office fined Jamal Ahmad $30,000 after they found a 99 cent store he owned carried toy sheriff’s sets with fake handguns. Although the guns had bright orange tips, officials say they violate a city ordinance barring the sale of realistic-looking toy guns.
Too bad there isn’t any law barring the pretense that New York City bureaucrats have realistic-looking brains.
