The com pany, based in Paramus, N.J., will continue to sell the guns overseas. Kay-Bee Toy Stores, based in Pittsfield, Mass., said it would immediately begin removing and destroying all realistic toy guns from the shelves of its 1,000 stores nationwide. The announcements follow two recent shootings in New York City in which police offi cers mistook toy guns for the real thing. “If it saves a couple kid’s lives, I think it’s a good thing,” said Steve Hansell as he shopped Friday at the Toys “R” Us in Lawrenceville, N.J. “Actu ally it’s a courageous move. They’re going to lose business.” The store’s shelves were a smorgasbord of toy guns Fri day, some realistic and some not. Buyers had their choice of AK-47s, M-16 rifles, double- barrel shotguns, rifles, pistols and Uzis. “Because so many kids are carrying real guns, for kids to carry realistic-looking toy guns is incredibly dangerous and in credibly stupid,” said Cheryl Brolin, spokeswoman for Hand gun Control Inc., a Washington- based non-profit organization. Other retailers already have pulled the toy guns from their shelves. Bradlee’s Inc., a discount de partment store chain based in Braintree, Mass., said months ago it wouldn’t order toy guns for the Christmas shopping season, And Troy, Mich.-based Kmart Corp. stopped selling re- alistic toy guns about 10 months ago, spokesman Stephen Pagnani said. Under a 1990 federal law, toy makers can sell realistic toy guns as long as they are equipped with a cap or cork at the muzzle or an orange mark to show they are toys. But the caps can be removed and the guns painted to look real. Yes, BUT I o°Ri trust Then THE NEXT DAY I Mil I CALLED YCSTCRDM TO RCTORT... U)H M?
