"Boglin in agreement with AOakley, shock, horror" 8-)
The justification for this is that mis-used replicas are A Bad Thing, and they're easy to get hold of. In most places, they're easier to get hold of than real firearms (note that this _doesn't_ apply to deacts, which are rarer and more expensive than illegals)
However it's _already_ illegal to wave a replica around in public. We don't need any new law here, we've already got one!
As a furniture maker I'm personally more worried about the table-leg ban, and new licensing for any legs over a certain cabriole.
