The city issued a warning to parents about the use of gel blaster guns, also known as splat guns or bead blasters. Officials said these devices may seem harmless but can cause panic when used in public spaces.
Many of these guns resemble real firearms and can lead to dangerous situations if misused. When seen from a distance or at night, they may be mistaken for actual weapons, potentially resulting in serious consequences.
The city emphasized that none of the guns shown in the attached photo are real firearms and that these devices are available for purchase by children. Officials urged parents to be mindful of the potential dangers and to avoid using these guns in public areas, as doing so may violate local ordinances.
