The problem is not the guns. In my whole life, I have never seen a weapon of any kind, be it a fire arm, pellet gun, knife or even a base ball bat, jump up and commit a crime. It is the stupid, inconsiderate jerk who wants to impose his will, and lasyness on others.

A wise man once said, if guns were outlawed, only outlaws would have guns.
Actually for most things it's the opposite. Like remember back to the prohibition days when Alchohol was outlawed, the amount of drinking actually went up instead of down. It became cool to break the law.

Not to say that it would happen it airsoftguns would outlawed. But I am saying it could happen.

So the moral of the story is: Airsoft guns should not be banned.

It seems the US is not the only ones having the "Airsoft Ban" problem.

I understand it's an old article. Here's an article from the UK.

Just goes to show they have been having problems for a long time with this too.

Proposed Airsoft Ban in New Jersey

    Breaking News: Working with FAST members of the NJ Law and Public Safety Committee have agreed to consider amendments to the bill before it moves forward.

    FAST has fully supported the players and player organizations in the north eastern United States that have been opposing the New Jersey state government's efforts to criminalize the sale and possession of ai r g uns including Airsoft models. FAST has started a legal fund and has retained legal council specifically to stop this and similar legislation in the United States. If your region is considering laws to limit the sale and possession of Airsoft models please contact the FAST Office of Public Affairs for assistance. For more information please see our press room.



There may be hope after all.
