State Senators Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, called on lawmakers to approve his bill to require toy guns to look different from guns that fire bullets, during the Senate session at the Senate at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2014. By a 22-8 vote the Senate approved the bill, SB199, requiring toy guns, BB guns, pellet guns and airsoft guns to be made to look clearly different from guns that fire bullets. The bill was prompted by the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old boy in Santa Rosa by a Sonoma County Sheriff's deputy who mistook the boys airsoft rifle for a real AK47 last October. The bill now goes to the Assembly.(AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)
