Ownership of toy-guns is punishable by Mauritian law :S

“Pas faire mover, lapolis pou trap twa!”…Some parents have been using this threat with their kids for quite some time now…Well, we all know that these were nothing more than blank threats right? NOT anymore :S

And now…

“kid: pa, acheter 1 fizi delo pou mwa…”

“dad: Ki to gagner, to envi al dans prison?”

Seriously, are these Mauritian politicians really serious about it? Those among you who still dont have an idea about what i’m talking about, check this out:

Interdiction de posséder ou d’importer des jouets en forme de pistolets et de fusils.

La police a émis un communiqué à la presse hier pour rappeler à la population que les jouets en forme de pistolets ou fusils sont considérés comme des objets interdits. Leur importation et possession enfreignent l’article 31 de la Consumer Protection Act. Elles sont condamnables d’une amende n’excédant pas Rs 100 000 et une peine de prison ne dépassant pas trois ans.

“mo garcon, papa pas envi to al dans prison, prend to sere so poupette ek zouzou menaz to zouer zouer…fizi delo bien danzerer sa…”

Since i was a kid, i enjoyed playing with guns…and i can hardly imagine a kid’s life without toy-guns :S And yeah, as a result of such bans, in some 20years, i can imagine a new police recruit asking his instrutor: What’s this black object sir?…Cause perhaps by that time, movies depicting guns will also be heavily censored ;)

So who among you have toy-guns? Lolz…i dont have any…i just have a bow and few arrows for sports :p
