LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles wants air rifles, BB and pellet guns to be painted in bright colors in the wake of two police shootings.

Supporters think it could help officers distinguish between those weapons and the real thing in a tense confrontation.

The Los Angeles Daily News says the City Council on Wednesday ordered drafting of the measure. Two shootings three years ago involved police and people armed with a BB gun and an air pistol.

Let's make a statement with this. Post as many images that you can find of REAL Firearms that have been painted. This measure will put every officer in Los Angeles in danger, physically and legally, if it passes.

Anyone else getting a malicious website warning? Malwarebytes blocked a problem which appears to originate from Russia. It's specific to this thread, probably something embedded in one of the linked photos.

I'm not getting a warning and I have Malwarebytes on my computer as well.

And this is just for rifles. You know if I were a criminal I would be all for this and then paint every single firearm I owned to resemble the painted BB gun including a bright orange muzzle device. This has got to be the dumbest idea out of California. At some point the people of that state have to realize that they have elected the most incompetent people into government positions. These people should be backing the LEO's. If you pull anything that resembles a weapon there are rules of engagement put in place to protect the lives of the officers and civilians. Painting BB guns a certain color is only going to get more officers shot in the line of duty.
