Despite New York City's strict firearms laws, they are still plagued with violent crime. So what does the City Council do? They are cracking down on retailers selling toy guns.

Many of the guns were cowboy-style six-shooters with silver or chrome barrels - a violation of a 1999 city law requiring toy barrels be cast in bright colors to differentiate them from lethal firearms.

GASP! A toy that looks like the real thing. I'm shocked, I say, shocked. Just how they came to the conclusion that a toy that doesn't shoot at all is a "six shooter" remains a mystery.
