Gary Stollman, the son of KNBC’s medical reporter Max Stollman, forced Horowitz to read a statement at gunpoint during the station’s 4 p.m. newscast. The weapon, which appeared real, was later found to be an empty toy BB gun. Nobody was hurt. The experience inspired Horowitz to spearhead a successful nationwide campaign to ban realistic-looking toy guns. #news #1980s #facts #didyouknow #history #scary ------ ►Subscribe to Watch Fight Back! https://www.youtube.com/@WatchFightBack ►Subscribe to our newsletter: https://fightback.beehiiv.com/subscribe ►Support our channel: https://buymeacoffee.com/fightback
