Nanny state strikes again.
Via NBC:
The city of Boston has passed a new law banning realistic-looking toy handguns across the city.
Mayor Marty Walsh signed the ordinance Monday, at a ceremony where he joined by local clergy as well as Police Commissioner William Evans.
Replica handguns are now banned in public spaces in Boston, and anyone caught will have to pick up their confiscated weapon at a police station. Offenders under 18 will have their parents contacted.
The ordinance is aimed at increasing public safety by allowing police to confiscate replicas and keep them off the streets.
