Excerpt from this article:
"Rice was playing with a toy gun near a recreational center in 2014 when someone spotted him and called the cops. The caller told the dispatcher that the subject might be a child with a toy gun. But that information was not passed along to the responding officers. The subsequent encounter was over in seconds, and young Rice was shot dead....The fact as of this moment is that an innocent 12-year-old boy was killed, and no one has been held accountable. That's not acceptable."

Maybe it's time to outlaw toy guns. I can think of several good reasons for an adult to own a gun (self protection, hunting animals you intend to eat, etc.). But guns don't make good toys anymore. A law enforcement officer shouldn't have to wait until they get shot 3 times before they figure out whether the gun is real or not!
Here are a couple of short quotes from two people on both sides of the gun control issue:
"One man with a gun can control 100 without one." - Vladimir Lenin
"Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually wind up working for those who didn't!" - Benjamin Franklin
