If they are reducing the "fake" look of them they are putting their own lives in danger and breaking a law. It is specifically in place to try and prevent this kind of thing from happening. Unfortunately, there is a loophole in the law that excludes BB and pellet guns. This is another example of why it should include all guns that aren't real.

True, but making it look more fake wouldn't help those trying to use it as a self defense scare tactic.
