"...But (Jordan) Baylon is playing on borrowed time. In September, Gov. Jerry Brown signed the Imitation Firearms Safety Act, which forbids nearly all types of pellet and BB guns from being shown in public unless they are fashioned in pink, red or another bright color.

Thumpy Covey's insight:

Skims the surface of the debate...as all "big media" seems to do nowadays...but never asks hard questions or gets solid answers from anyone...and they used 3 reporters and the resources of one of the nation's bastions of journalism to get mush to their "audience/readers."  You are doing this all wrong, LATIMES...why do I alwys read that "Late to the Times?"

"...While it is certainly a real tragedy when any child is injured or killed because a police officer mistook a toy gun for a real gun, the burden of responsibility should not remain, solely, on officers and/or individuals who seek to defend themselves against imminent danger or death. 


Parents should know the huge safety risks involved before investing in toy guns for their children and those children should not be allowed to roam the streets carrying them...."

Thumpy Covey's insight:

Although not "real news," this article on City Watch LA's site is an op-ed whose writer has clearly done her homework...and a great "read this" pointer for folks who want to get up-to-speed on the LA./Cali/US Senate Bill situation in a hurry.  And, the quote above?  We could NOT AGREE MORE!
