They are used for targets only they are most likely not even used in hunting unless the person has fears of being shot by other hunters and want to be noticed at a glance.

Those pictures of REAL guns with colors that pop and are easy to notice were all used in gangs and in high crime areas not for home invasions in nice neighborhoods. 

Please take a poll show your blue-, yellow- and orange-colored guns next to black guns that is a normal Glock type color and see which people chose to take on a home invasion in a nice neighborhood. Shakes my head in utter disgust at this long conversation about something so simple. Your views are just unrealistic.

This is exactly, word for word, what you said and i simply pointed out how it was incorrect.

My post showed that they are. Where and when they're used isn't solely determined on what part of town you are in. 

As an aside to that, actual toy guns are used in real crimes as well. Some dude in Texas recently got blown away trying to rob a restaurant recently with a toy gun. I've also watched many youtube videos of people carrying toy guns, who were shot by police when they brandished them, in all kinds of neighborhoods.

To the point of where and when a real or toy gun is used, regardless of where the incident happens, if you are threatened, it would be silly, negligible and potentially deadly to your safety if you wait to see if the gun is real or not, because real crimes are committed by people who are carrying real guns and fake/toy guns. 

I don't reply like Fredtoast because i ususally employ context, common sense and real-world expierence when i form a thought.

As a nice little added anecdote, just the other day, 3 teens came walking down the street where i work with what, upon closer inspection, looked like 3 assault type rifles that were cut out of wood and painted. If confronted with the decision, with the number of active shooters in the world today, how long do you wait before you decide to brandish your own weapon with the intent to defend yourself?

The entire point being, the world isn't as black and white as you are trying to make it and with hindsight, you can never be wrong. In the moment, though, you can.
