(Memphis, 1/9/8) "Some guns are obviously a toy, others aren't. Either one could get someone killed if pointed at someone, and that's the point of one Tennessee lawmaker who says he wants to get rid of all toy guns.
Last year's killing of a West Memphis teenager by a police officer prompted the idea of a toy gun ban from Memphis Assemblyman John DeBerry.
Police said DeAunta Farrow pulled a weapon, which they later learned was a toy.
Now, one of the people at the center of that case says he supports DeBerry's plan. "Representative DeBerry, I think, has the right idea trying to ban these guns that look so real." said West Memphis Police Chief Bob Paudert.
It IS hard to tell the difference. Take a close look. One of these guns is real, the other is an air gun, and one just squirts water. If you only had a split second glance, you might assume they're all real..."
Nope.
