Like so.
Is it not adorable?
The irony, of course, is that when I was in high school, the big police scare was toy guns that looked real. Now it’s real guns that look fake.
The other irony – according to the Jim of Jim’s Gun Supply who paints them on request – is that 75% of the orders come from the wives of cops so they can spend some quality time together at the shooting range.
Which is sweet.
Not sure who comprises the other 25%, but it’s probably not Ted Nugent.

Not that he’d be against gun-painting in principle. He might even order a camouflage-painted gun, if he doesn’t paint them himself.
As for whether it’s a good idea or not, all I can say is: If you want a nation of guns on demand, that’s exactly what you get. Deal with it.
FUN FACT: If I had to have a gun, I’d want the one Ted’s holding right there. And not the ones that look like actual guns – the acoustics would be too weird. I want one that looks just like Ted’s.
If Wal-mart is out of stock, I’ll settle for the Kane Roberts Flamethrower model.
Happy hunting,
