VB isn't my favorite person, but I have to jump to his defense here.
This is a bullshit argument, and I'll tell you why: Anyone can buy
these fake guns on eBay.

Do you know why having a firearm stolen is a bad deal? Because a lot
of people can't legally buy them. So if you leave one in a situation
where it is easily stolen, you're an irresponsible twit. You've just
allowed someone who probably could not legally purchase one to get
their hands on one.

VB's replica is a totally different matter. If the guy didn't steal
it, he could just go buy one. So who cares? If you're going to get on
his case for letting a random person get ahold of it, what about the
thousands of vendors who sell the exact same gun to anyone with a
hundred bucks? You should also be angry with our congressmen for
allowing them to be sold at all. Now, see how silly it is to call VB
irresponsible over this?

Again, I'm backing Robert up. If I woke up in the middle of the night
and found someone in my garage, stealing my DeLorean, I'd draw my 9mm.
And if he made any aggressive moves toward me I'd riddle him with
holes and I wouldn't feel an ounce of guilt.
