Topic that always causes a keyboard war among gun geeks

Are color parts (orange tips) necessary for toy guns?
Pro: Orange tips make it look like a toy, so it prevents misuse in crimes. Con: Someone planning a crime would just remove it or paint over it anyway, so it's useless.
Pro: It helps people distinguish real guns from fakes, making them feel safer. Con: That's just a false sense of security. You should be cautious regardless of whether there's an orange tip or not.
Pro: Color parts help identify it as a fake, which helps prevent crime. Con: On the flip side, putting an orange tip on a real gun allows it to be disguised as a toy, making it even more dangerous.
Pro: It reduces accidents where kids touch them thinking they're toys and allows for faster response. Con: There's no way a kid in Korea would ever be in an environment where they'd encounter a real firearm.
Pro: It's the law. Just follow it. Con: Infuriating, but true.
"Gun geeks are roasting the 'orange tip' law, pointing out that any real criminal would just paint over it or use it as a disguise, but they begrudgingly accept it since it's the law of the land."
