painting the muzzle of a gun is NOT going to stop me from shooting the guy pointing it at me.

this law is an attempt to CONTROL GUNS, as in TAKE THEM AWAY.

let's not.

Normally I'd agree. Apparently, though, some criminals actually HAVE been painting the muzzles of their guns orange in an attempt to not get shot. (Although you've GOT to wonder how well it works -- LOL!) So I say that if criminals are gonna horse around like that, why not slap 'em hard for it? My biggest concern is that this law will end up being used against women with pretty guns as opposed to real criminals, which makes me totally against it if / until the language is clarified and made VERY specific.

the state legislature takes the entire state citizenry for morons.
