The way he was acting sticking it into peoples faces obviously made the person ring the cops to come out and stop him, and they did. Very unfortunate but if it was really obvious that it was just a kid with a gun then who ever it is rang the cops could have just went up to him and took it off him.

Obviously a shame it happened like this because as a kid I've played with toy guns myself... but yeah never really shoved one in someones face while they walked the full lenght of a footpath stopping them like that, and from the sounds of it he removed a portion to make it look more like a real gun? some orange marking thing meant to be on the barrel to show it's a toy? bad idea, bad parenting to let him go out and play with something that looked like that.

Yeah most toy guns have an orange tip because some of made to look extremely realistic, and need some kind of a sign that they're toys.  It's important to note that this wasn't just a toy, this was an air-soft gun, why a 12 year old was brandishing it at people in the first place is beyond me.
