Airsoft Legal Issues

Okay, now what is stopping the kids from taking their brightly colored imitation guns and painting them to look more 'realistic'? Just asking.

Then the bad guys would paint their guns pink so they look 'real'. The wheel keeps on turning...

That just might depend on whether you're a giver or a taker.

The law saying you have to be 18 to buy Spray Paint.

But we do (did) that anyway.

Yes. We would paint our toy guns and airsoft guns black. I even put black electrical tape around the muzzle break on my M4 so I could get more air behind the BB.

Me and my friends knew enough to NOT go pointing them at anybody (except for each other....because Airsoft...that's why) and we knew our gun safety.

All I know about Airsoft is that in South Korea you can buy them(and copies) for dirt cheap.Several guys that had been stationed in Korea had some and we'd get drunk and run around the barracks shooting other people with Airsoft guns.

The Korean ones had no bright plastic.

Personally at least in a country where you can buy a real firearm for the same price why on earth an adult would by Airsoft is beyond me.

Real life functioning Mosin-Nagant 91/30 or toy Airsoft?

Hmmmmmm.

Side note some criminals have painted real firearms bright colors to make them look like toys.

I say ban breeding of humans fluoride in the drinking water for everyone it will also help prevent cavities in your teeth no guarantee on your brain.

It depends on what it is I suppose. I bought the Thompson's because I'll never own a real one and I always loved that gun. The airsoft ones are actually pretty nice with metal casings, etc. I also didn't pay list price and can shoot it all I want without causing trouble.

Donna, exactly. I grew up with toy guns, not real, and was still taught proper gun safety and etiquette. I taught my son proper gun safety and etiquette. He knew at 6 years old how to behave with a gun, even a toy gun.

That's assuming responsible parents and you know what happens when we assume.
