It's really up to the parents to teach the 15-year-old some good sense. "Look, Johnnie, don't pull out a toy that looks like a gun and threaten a crowd with it. You'll get shot."
My kids play with look-alike guns. Why should they be deprived of that fun just because an idiot gets himself shot for being stupid?
And I don't follow you to the conclusion about the "evil corporate manufacturers." What if they're family-owned manufacturers? What if it's a family business, but they incorporated?
What about you? Do you aim to make a profit when you work? Or is it your duty to produce at a loss?

I agree about giving more fuel to the anti's. But can you imagine what fuel it will give them when some 15 year old is shot dead b/c he was just acting stupid with a look alike?I am all for paint ball, just make the shape like a paintball gun for airsoft. There has been a hell of a lot of stupidity with kids playing "stick em up" with these. It's only a matter of time until a CCW or OC shoots one by accident. I blame the evil corporate manufacturers. They don't care about anything but stuffing their pockets.
