A Toronto man learned a hard lesson this week about the real danger of fake guns. Jeremy Bell found himself staring down the barrel of a police assault rifle after a neighbour spotted Bell in his office handling what looked like a genuine semi-automatic pistol.
It turns out Bell was putting the finishing touches on a handgun made entirely of black Lego bricks.
After showing his creation to a co-worker, Bell put the toy away. But the neighbour had already sounded the alarm, and a short time later the Emergency Task Force arrived with weapons drawn.
Bell was thrown up against the wall and slapped with handcuffs. After a quick investigation, police set him free.

So, guns are completely illegal in Toronto I gather?
They sure enough would have called the Emergency Task Force on my son and me yesterday, we went down by the creek and shot a real gun! (Whoa!)
Sometimes it's good to live in the USA, nobody called the cops. I would even venture to say, if a cop showed up, he would probably ask if he could try out the gun himself, and we would be glad to let him.
