Require distinctive colour for air guns

Re: Surrey RCMP raises concern about kids with air guns that resemble real guns, Feb. 20

With air guns becoming more popular these days, and being brought more often to public schools, we need to start looking at the consequences that could result.

It’s important to ensure high school students feel safe.

The article states that air guns are becoming more realistic. If the public is unable to tell the difference between air guns and real guns, this can cause anxiety and fear.

Perhaps imposing a mandatory colour scheme on these guns would make them easily discernible from real weapons.
