Roc, The Good Doc
Parents, police and gun-con
trol advocates are praising the
decision by two retailers to stop
selling realistic-looking toy guns.
“Police officers have to make
split-second decisions,” said
New York City police Officer
James Davis. “We don’t have
time to think, ‘Is it real, or is it
Memorex?’”
Davis was at the Toys “R” Us
headquarters Friday when the
world’s largest toy retailer an
nounced it will stop selling toy
guns in its U.S. stores. 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.
