bill summery:
Initially the bill was introduced that covered imitation firearm or spot marker gun that expels a projectile larger than 16mm that basically exempted airsoft guns which was a wonder since Senator De León is supported by the Paintball Industry, which will be affected with such wording in the bill. It was amended on the 29th of March and as expected, it was intended to ban airsoft and other imitation firearms that fire projectiles less than 16mm, Paintball and bears resemblance in coloration and overall appearance to an existing firearm. This is intended to exempt Paintball.
