What you do instead of something
NY banned toy guns a bit back. Because their politicians have apparently run out of productive or useful things to do having solved all of the state’s problems. But I digress.
Anyhoo, the state AG went after 7 out of state retailers who sold toy guns to New Yorkers on amazon.com. The 7 retailers who likely thought they were selling toys to fellow Americans were probably pretty shocked by this. But this is apparently such a menace that it warrants the .gov be involved.
If I sold anything remotely dangerous or gun shaped, I’d never do business in NY.

New York……we should rename it New California.

Given that “remotely dangerous” will turn out to be a constantly sliding scale, one would have to question whether executing any transactions with the slightest hint of potential hazard in places like New York is worth it.
Ex post facto aside, it’s entirely possible that something entirely acceptable to ship on Tuesday could embroil one in legal action on Wednesday because “you should have known….”

New York continues to go after the sellers rather than the buyers. What happened to the New Yorkers buying said toy guns?
Pretty soon they’ll be lashing out at Virginia for creating an interstate toy gun pipeline.

Sounds like 7 merchants forgot to send in their “campaign contributions” this year.
