I do not know the current state of play on that. Over the past few decades, there are now and again reported cases of toys guns being pointed at cops and it ends in tears.
Not sure if there's a statue on that, and I'll see if ATF might have a law. (We have so many laws in this country I wonder if we aren't all criminals...)
EDIT: a quick check of ATF.gov didn't find an ATF reg on that, but who knows what laws states have? I too recall hearing something like that years ago, but I can' confirm or deny as I just don't know.
I think SASless might now from his days in LE, but he seems to have left us for the time being.
