Ridiculous Gun laws

A poll of sorts: what US (state or federal) gun law (whether it affects you directly or not) are you aware of that you consider to be the most ridiculous. I don't know the full catalog of laws (and I'm sure no one here does). I learned of a new list topper recently:
NYC has a law that bans gun coloration kits.[:o)]

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit

If its too horrible to buy tomorrow, it's too horrible to own yesterday.
Grandfathering allows unconscionable acts to be brought to bear because the state would have difficulty in collecting horrible weapons currently in the hands of citizens.
And it pushes the questions another generation downstream.
There 15 yr olds who fought in ww2. lol
Every gun law that infringes on "shall not be infringed" is a ridiculous and unlawful law

Yes, but admittedly some are even more ludicrous than others.

The law that makes it illegal to have a bayonet lug.
The law that makes it legal to have a machine gun but not a suppressor.
These are all current mass laws, and two of them were federal for 10 years.
At age 15, I couldn't buy .22lr match ammo for practice, because at one time NYC decided that is a "pistol" round.
Then When I first got my "target pistol permit", I had to prove I was trained, and show proficiency with a pellet gun before the powers that be would issue it. To get a CCW permit, all you had to do was prove financial need to carry a pistol. {show bank deposits in cash}
No place is as screwed up as New Yuk. That's why I"m in Tenn.[:D]
The law that makes owning ten round mags legal and eleven round mags illegal.
The law that makes it illegal to have a bayonet lug.
The law that makes it legal to have a machine gun but not a suppressor.
These are all current mass laws, and two of them were federal for 10 years.
So what's your opinion of Romney?[:D]

the job of an elected representative is to vote or work on behalf of their constituency. when mitt was the governor of MA, the federal assault weapons ban was due to sunset. the people of this state, not all but the majority, are anti gun. they wanted harsher gun control measures enacted, so their elected representatives.
honestly, i would be less happy with mitt if he hadnt enacted said legislation and i'll tell you why. doing it, even though it didnt exactly mesh with his parties ideals, showed that he did what his constituents wanted.
his only public office is that of the governorship in massachusetts for one term. were all of his decisions perfect? of course not. whos are?
toy guns must be brightly colored and must not resemble real-world firearms. ... Note that the major federal toy gun law was enacted in 1988...real firearms may not be disguised to appear as toy firearms.
That is not Just california,, I believe there is a Federal law that one cannot paint or alter a firearm to purposely make it look like a toy firearm. Toy firearm manufacturers put orange or red barrel ends on the toys

Then they should make the toy guns look like the real ones to solve that problem. [;)]
Then have some poor person shot by a trigger happy cop/citizen thinking they had a real gun! now that is wise.

Or maybe just teach your kids to be responsible enough with toy guns that they don't point them at cops, or they will be shot?
