Even pellet guns are supposed to have orange tips...correct?
It's somewhat confusing. Federal law says if it's transported or sold into the US from out side it has to have the Orange Tip. State laws seem to vary. LA was considering requiring the whole BB gun to be bright colored as apparently their officers are getting older and having a harder time seeing the orange tip. I used to hunt squerrils with a pellet gun. It will take them out, not to mention birds. Yeah Yeah, politically incorrect these days. A bright red gun wouldn't be all that great for hunting.

Putting an orange tip on a toy gun doesn't mean much.

Not a toy AR.

It's just a "feel-good" law politicians made to pander to anti-gun constituents. I think very few cops would pay much attention to red or orange on a gun with only seconds to evaluate the situation.
