One of these is a toy water pistol and the other is a real Beretta Model 950BS .25 ACP handgun. Can you tell them apart?

Hawaii lawmakers aren’t fooling around when it comes to guns — even toy ones. State Rep. Scott Saiki has introduced a bill that would ban retailers from selling toy guns to minors.

If passed, it would become a crime to sell a toy gun to anybody under 18. Parents could still purchase them for their children.

Earl, a retired champion rope horse, and Buddy, a 5-year-old quarterhorse, were mysteriously shot last week in a Kapaia, Kauai pasture, leaving one dead and the other injured.

At 7:30 a.m. Thursday, owner Ben Ellsworth found Buddy shot in the face and standing over Earl, who was lying down in the pasture with a fatal wound to his side.

“I have no idea who” shot the horses, said Andrea Ellsworth. “I don’t think it was personal. I think it was probably random.”

Kauai Humane Society Executive Director Rebecca Rhoades said police believe the horses were shot with a high-powered rifle, judging from the size of the bullets removed from the animals.

The group is offering a $10,000 reward for tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of the shooter.
