“Imagine calling in police because some little kid points a toy gun or his finger, and says ‘Bang, bang, you’re dead’. This is already happening. These things are all birds of a feather. Penalties are severe. These laws are oppressive. They make crimes out of many varieties of ordinary statements made by ordinary people in many situations. Someone who speaks in anger, or when tipsy, or because they’re upset, or without meaning what they say, can suddenly be in hot water. It is not uncommon for people to say ‘I’ll kill you’ without meaning it. These laws give the justice system heavy artillery to fire against anyone who falls into its clutches for any reason.”
