Yeah, read that in the Daily Wipe. Amazing how many times it was called a "bullet".

Anyone who pulls a fake gun on me better shoot first.

I thought Airsoft had already cornered this market....at least they spew something.

So I guess these "toy" guns don't require an orange tip?

Wait: can the toy guns be removed from the holster or not? Honestly, I haven't spent one second on their web site (refuse to give them a hit).

This would get me in more trouble than firing lethal rounds. I envision myself standing over the bad guy, pumping rounds at him till he loses consciousness.

It's based on a solid biological premise. The idea that a predator will choose another "victim" based on a perceived threat in order to maintain self preservation is solid biological thinking. That being said, the idea does not take into account the idea that the jackasses who commit crimes aren't set on self preservation. Many of the people who shoot up places are either: 1. planning on dying anyways. 2. looking for some sort of fame. 3. crazy and don't care about a perceived threat. In cases like this, the people who are dead set on shooting up a place have a severe lead deficiency and they will not stop until they have received the proper "dose" of lead.

This looks like a fancy way for people to get shot trying to be safer. A firearm in the proper holster is going to be much safer because it can also be used should the situation dictate. Part of the appeal of REAL firearms is the inherent dangerousness of them (I don't mean this the same way anti's do obviously). It is the danger that they can pose that stops bad guys when a gun is pointed at them. You take away that danger and you take away the reason you have a gun in the first place.
