Moorhead, Minn. (WDAY TV) - An ordinance to ban fake guns in the city of Moorhead is on hold.

City leaders discussed the proposal to ban people from carrying fake guns that look real, but have not agreed to implement it. Some see it as infringing on people's rights to bear arms.

There is already a law in place making it a felony to use a fake gun in a threatening way. The new ordinance was an attempt to make simply carrying the fake gun a misdemeanor

I thought the name of that town was familiar. So will banning toy guns help with the real problem. :laughingtohard: What a huge bunch of morons. You would think they would be far enough away from Minneapolis/St. Paul that they wouldn't be caught up in the looney toons.
