A: Hey! Did you hear about those mini revolvers? Crazy, right?

B: No way! What’s happening with them?

A: Apparently, they're calling on people to turn them in to the police! They look like toys, but they can actually shoot real bullets!

B: Seriously?! That’s so dangerous! Where did they even come from?

A: They’re made in China. They were given away in claw machines and stuff, starting around last December. About 15,000 of them are out there!

B: Wow! That’s a lot. Has anyone been hurt?

A: Not that we know of, but the police are really worried. They gave people until the end of December to turn them in.

B: So, what happens if you don’t?

A: They could be charged with breaking the law! Next year, it’s serious business.

B: That’s scary! A dad whose son got one said it felt like a trap. He’s right!

A: Totally. They’re also saying people shouldn't just throw them away. Gotta surrender them.

B: Yeah, they already did that with other similar guns and raided some places to get them. Crazy times!
