Neither does Classic Megatron, but BOTH the scope and the barely existent barrel bare the faggy orange tip.

In alot of states the law is actually more restrictive in that a toy gun can't even be colored like a real gun (Which is why Megs is the colors he is). And in most cases those laws are the result of parent groups petitioning for it.
Its not like one little incident led to this law going up to congress. If you research it there was alot of public backing on it from parent groups and the like. I think its a stupid law myself. But it exists because the people of this country wanted it. Of course I suppose that something about the average intelligence level of our citizens.
Well, the average jow blow american and intelligence ( So long as they have reality TV, college sports, and beer, they are satisfied. ) do often mix, look at post 9/11. The government goes, "Look at this awful thing that happened! You have to give up your rights, freedoms and privacies, so that we can
protect you!" And the sad part is that a majority of people at that time said, "Yes, we'll do that!" Same thing with the so-called Iraq war, you so much as said anything bad about it, or Dubya, you'd get labled as being a hater of freedom, and they pretty much 'dixie chicked' you.
Fortunately, some brain power is slowly starting to surface.
And I don't count parent groups as being considered as intelligent. Banning fire on
Beavis & Butthead during its first season did not reduce ill-parented kids from playing with matches, nor arsens. I live in Southeast Michigan, so I know all about fires and arsens.
