Senate bill passed to make airsoft gun look more like toys

[G36 FTW]

This may effect us here in Oregon/Washington too... Won't retailers like Airsoft GI and Evike have to comply with this law if/when emplaced?

They would either be forced to sell the fully painted airsoft guns, or relocate out of state. My guess is that they would pack up shop and move.

Well the bright side is the next best place to be located is up here in oregon.

Introduce a bill similar to what the UK does. Dual color (yellow and black, orange and black, etc) guns for those under 18, regular guns for those older than 18.

I don't give a shit if minors have dumb looking guns, because in my experience, it's generally minors who do dumb shit with said guns.

Makes sense to me.

Using their logic then the criminal should paint their guns in bright colors and then they could shot innocent people and not get shot at in return.

No kidding right.....

Speaking of laws, I believe there may be laws against this sort of activity. I can't find a link, but I'd heard that it's illegal to paint a real steel tip orange for that reason.

I’m really embarrassed on behalf of minors, the fact that so many of us create problems because of this sort of stupidity is super annoying.

Weapons shouldn’t be brandished in public, toy or not. Therefore, it seems ridiculous to me that we should need to distinguish between them visually.

[The Murse]

You can't and shouldn't regulate stupidity. Passing laws to protect people from themselves, .... is ridiculous and oppressive.

Yeah. Laws like that are stupid.

Who needs seat belts!
Who needs to limit how much people can drink and drive, or even just drink!
Who can tell me i should be able to make crack in my own house!
Who can tell me i'm not allowed to have an abortion!

It's not fair!! Laws like that are stupid. People should be able to do what ever the heck they want. Natural selection will take care of the rest!

(end sarcasm rant)

[wake.joe]

You're dumb, Mark.

[ScaredShooter]

^Haha. I somewhat agree with Mark. It's a valid argument, however funny it is.

Regulation isn't necessarily bad.

These retard kids running around with their Beretta replicas is bad.

[lilwil]

Regulation in any form is wrong in a democracy. good thing we live in a republic.

Sadly enough, this exact thing happens all the time. seven years ago my teacher (then a law enforcement officer) did a warrant and they found a cache of weapons painted with orange tips and blue'd (blued?) parts similar to what the department used for simunitions training. Color coding things doesn't make it safe.

BAN Airsoft --> Move to real firearms --> Well prepared for Zombie apocalypse.

[FishSlapRepublic]

Is there no Limit to what dumb laws CA will pass? They try to give M-rated videogames the same treatment as porn and now this. (Game law still pending)

[Jester316]

San Francisco is working on a law outlawing male circumcision under the age of 18. Saying that it is a personal choice, not religious.

[KA-BAR]

i could care less if this whole hobby takes flying leap off a cliff. fu.ck airsoft. its had its run.


ill still play till the wheels fal off, because i dont know where else you can shoot someone, then have a beer with them afterwards...



when this fad does take a nose dive ill switch to some real steel shooting sports like 3 gun or small bore sillouette, or something else.



only a matter of time and a few retards to ruin/spoil this sport/hobby for us all.



have a backup plan.

[Ash]

You are my back of up plan Morgan.

....i once liked cali.....now it is my mortal enemy. The terminator must pay for his airsoft De-militarizing ways!
