Brightly painted guns

It really PAINS me to find myself leaning towards agreement with the state of New York in anything, much less when it comes to banning of firearms. New York is considering a ban on "brightly painted guns", you know, the bright reds, blues, and worst in my opinion, orange. I'm not a guy who believes that the looks of a firearm should be a factor in determination use, but at the same time, I work in the law enforcement area and know that a orange gun (if they do become more prevailant) will cause either a officer to hesitate when he/she shouldn't or to not hesitate when they should. Either way, it's a screwed up situation. I can understand those who wish to personalize their property, I get it, but can we justify giving the drive-by media and the statistically challenged anti-gunners ammunition of a tragedy waiting to happen and we didn't "nip it in the bud" sort of speak? If I'm way off base please tell me. I just don't see it as a big deal.
